OUR SERVICES
How can we help you?
We specialise in sealant work, grouting and injecting hollow tiles, so your bathroom, toilet or kitchen stays neat and watertight.
COMMON PROBLEMS
Does this sound familiar?
These are the signs that sealant, grout or tiles need attention.
Mouldy sealant
Black spots in the sealant that no longer go away with cleaning. The mould is inside the sealant; replacing it is the only lasting fix.
Sealant coming loose
Sealant detaching from bath, shower tray or tiles. Wait too long and water can run behind it and affect the substrate.
Cracked grout
Cracks, holes or worn grout between the tiles. Moisture can get behind the tiles through these openings.
Hollow or moving tiles
Tiles that sound hollow when you tap them or move slightly. Fixing them in time prevents further damage to tile or grout.

SEALANT
Sealant replacement in bathroom, toilet and kitchen
We replace sealant around the bath, shower tray or walk-in shower, sink, toilet and along tiled walls. In the kitchen it is usually the sealant along the worktop, sink and backsplash.
First we remove all old sealant, including residue. Then we clean and degrease the joint and let it dry properly. Only then do we apply new, mould-resistant sanitary sealant. If the grout is worn too, we can replace the bathroom grout in one go.
We finish the joint smooth and even, so the connection between, for example, bath and tiles is neat and watertight.
We never apply new sealant over old sealant: it bonds poorly and mould returns quickly. We also choose a sealant type and colour that suits the spot, such as sanitary sealant for wet areas.
Sealant around bath and shower tray
Around the bath and shower tray, sealant deals with water, soap and heat every day, which is why most mould appears here. A bath or tray also moves slightly when you stand in it or fill it, so the joint must stay flexible and bond well on both sides. We finish the edge neatly so no water can run behind it.
Sealant at walk-in shower and shower screen
With a walk-in shower it's about the joints between the glass screen, the floor and the tiled wall. Water often runs down along the sealant. A small gap or loose sealant lets water get behind the tiles quickly, so we replace these joints carefully and seal them completely.
Sealant around toilet and hand basin
Around the toilet, along the floor and at the hand basin, new sealant gives a hygienic finish. Dirt and moisture have less chance to build up and the joint is easy to keep clean. We replace discoloured or cracked sealant with a neat new joint.
Sealant in the kitchen
In the kitchen, sealant runs along the worktop, around the sink and against the backsplash. If it comes loose, moisture can get into or behind the worktop, which can make wood or chipboard swell. New sealant closes these joints neatly again.
Which sealant type and colour?
For wet areas we use sanitary sealant, which suits moisture and resists mould better. We match the colour to the spot: white, transparent, grey or a shade that suits your tiles or grout. We discuss this with you beforehand.
How the replacement works
We cut and scrape out all old sealant and remove every bit of residue. Then we clean and degrease the joint and let it dry. Next we apply the new sealant and finish it smooth and even. Finally we tidy everything up.
After the sealant work
New sealant needs to cure before the shower or bath can be used again; we tell you afterwards what applies to you. Ventilate well during and after showering and clean the sealant now and then with a mild cleaner, so it stays good-looking for longer.
GROUT
Bathroom grout replacement
Replacing grout is needed when it is cracked, worn or so discoloured that cleaning no longer helps. Damaged grout lets moisture through to the substrate, which can eventually leave tiles hollow and in need of injection.
We carefully grind out the old grout, clear the joints of dust and re-grout. Then we wash the tiles so the bathroom is fresh and tidy again.
New grout is often a good alternative to a complete new bathroom: the tiles stay, but everything looks cared for again. Where wall meets floor or bath meets tiles we use sealant instead of grout, because those joints need to be able to move.
Grout in shower and walk-in shower
Grout in the shower takes the most punishment: water, soap and heat every day. This is where cracks, discolouration and mould appear first. New, dense grout keeps water on the tiles instead of letting it soak into the substrate.
Grout in wall tiles
Wall grout often discolours from soap residue and moisture. If it is only dirty, cleaning can be enough. If it has holes or cracks, we grind it out and re-grout the wall so it looks smooth and even again.
Grout in floor tiles
Floor grout wears from use and cleaning. If it crumbles, dirt and water can stay in the joint. We renew the grout so the floor is sealed and easy to clean again. If a tile sounds hollow, we check whether tile injection is needed.
Choosing a grout colour
When replacing grout you can often choose a different colour, such as white, grey or anthracite. A new colour can give the bathroom a whole new look. We discuss beforehand which colour suits your tiles.
How the replacement works
We carefully grind out the old grout to a good depth without damaging the tiles. Then we clear the joints of dust and apply new grout. Finally we wash the tiles and tidy everything up.
After grouting
New grout needs to cure before you use the shower again. We tell you afterwards how long that takes in your situation. Ventilate well and clean the grout now and then with a mild cleaner.
TILE INJECTION
Hollow and loose tile injection
If a tile sounds hollow or moves slightly, it is no longer properly attached. With injection we drill small holes in the grout and inject a special adhesive behind the tile.
This fixes the tile again, often without breaking it out. Whether injection suits your situation depends on the tile and the substrate. We assess that beforehand and send you a free quote.
If a tile is broken or there is moisture behind it, injection isn't always wise. In that case we explain honestly what the options are.
How do you recognise hollow tiles?
Tap the tile with a knuckle or a screwdriver handle. If it sounds hollow or dull instead of solid, or moves slightly when you stand on it, it is no longer properly fixed. Sometimes you also see small cracks in the surrounding grout.
What causes hollow tiles?
Often the tile wasn't fully bedded in adhesive when it was laid. Movement of the substrate, temperature changes or underfloor heating can also make the bond fail over time.
How injection works
We drill a few small holes in the grout next to the tile and inject a special adhesive into the hollow space behind it. The adhesive fills the gap and fixes the tile again. Then we neatly finish the holes in the grout colour.
Floor tiles and wall tiles
Injection works for hollow floor tiles and for wall tiles that are coming loose. For floor tiles it prevents cracking under load; for wall tiles it prevents them loosening further or falling off.
When injection isn't possible
If a tile is broken, there is moisture behind it or the substrate itself is poor, injection isn't always the right solution. We assess this beforehand and explain the options honestly.
After injection
The adhesive needs time to cure before the tile can take full load again; we tell you afterwards what applies. If the grout around the tile is damaged too, we can include grout replacement straight away.

MAINTENANCE TIPS
Maintaining sealant and grout in Druten: what to look out for
Sealant edges and grout keep water where it belongs. In bathrooms, toilets and kitchens in Druten they deal with moisture, heat and cleaning products every day. Spotting wear early prevents mould, damp patches and leaks into floors or walls below.
When does sealant need replacing?
Black spots that won't clean off, sealant coming loose from tiles or fixtures, small cracks and discolouration are clear signs. The mould is then usually inside the sealant itself. Cleaning only helps briefly; fully removing the old sealant and applying new sealant is the lasting solution.
Renew grout or just clean it?
If the grout is only dirty on the surface, a thorough clean may be enough. If it crumbles, has holes or cracks, or stays damp, renewing it is wise. The old grout is ground out and replaced with a new, dense joint.
Hollow tiles: why inject them quickly?
If a tile sounds hollow when tapped or moves slightly, it is no longer properly fixed. Load and temperature changes can make it crack or come loose, and water can get behind the tiles through the joints. Injection fixes the tile in place without removing it.
Keeping sealant and grout looking good
Ventilate the bathroom well during and after showering, wipe walls and sealant edges dry and use a mild cleaner instead of harsh products or scouring pads. That keeps sealant and grout in your home in Druten clean and watertight for longer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about sealant and grout work?
Is your question not listed? Include it with your request or give us a call.
How long does new sealant take to dry?
Sanitary sealant skins over fairly quickly but needs more time to cure fully. Exactly how long depends on the type, the thickness of the joint and the temperature. After the job we tell you what applies in your situation.
When can I use the shower again?
That depends on the sealant or grout used. After the job we tell you exactly when you can use the shower again.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Make sure the room is empty and accessible: remove bottles, mats and loose items. Preferably don't use the shower or bath for a few hours beforehand, so the joints are dry.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of sealant, grout or tiles. The quote states what you can expect.
Can new sealant go over the old sealant?
We advise against it. New sealant bonds poorly to old sealant and mould returns quickly. We always remove the old sealant completely first.
What is the difference between sealant and grout?
Grout is a hard mortar between the tiles. Sealant is flexible and used where things can move, such as between bath and wall, in corners and along the shower tray.
How do I prevent mould in the sealant?
Ventilate well during and after showering, squeegee the walls and clean the sealant regularly with a mild cleaner. If the sealant is already black inside, only replacement helps.
Can the grout get a different colour?
When replacing grout you can often choose a different colour. We discuss the options with the quote.
What if there is water behind the tiles?
Then new sealant or grout alone is usually not enough. We first look at the cause and give honest advice on the best approach.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Guarantee agreements are discussed upfront and included in the quote.
Can you fix only hollow tiles?
Yes. With injection, hollow or loose tiles can often be fixed without breaking them out. We discuss whether that works for you after your request.
Do you cover all of Druten?
Yes, Kitbedrijf Druten works throughout Druten. Enter your postcode in the request and we'll schedule a time that suits you.
