Fernham Regrouting
Tiled areas in Fernham need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Fernham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Regrouting in Fernham, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls.
Somewhere as small as Fernham, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When to call us in Fernham
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you look after a building such as Faringdon Community College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Regrouting in Fernham: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St John, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Your questions about regrouting in Fernham
Is regrouting in Fernham guaranteed?
All our work, in Fernham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Fernham for regrouting?
Yes, Fernham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
