- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Whitstable
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Whitstable mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitstable
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Whitstable, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whitstable: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitstable station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Whitstable?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Whitstable, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Rented homes near Whitstable station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
