What regrouting looks like in Fern
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Little Marlow CofE School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

About our regrouting in Fern
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you’re dealing with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Fern makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlord and commercial work in Fern
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fern
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Fern, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Fern, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Fern
I let a flat near Bourne End station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Fern?
Yes. Fern is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
