Regrouting in West Stourmouth
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about greasy, stained grout behind the hob and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Somewhere as small as West Stourmouth, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Regrouting around West Stourmouth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Preston Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Minster station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Common problems we fix in West Stourmouth
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What else we do in West Stourmouth
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like West Stourmouth, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
