Regrouting around Fingest
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 Saunderton station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Cadmore End CofE School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How we handle regrouting in Fingest
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Being in a small place like Fingest makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fingest as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Fingest needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
What we’re called out for in Fingest
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- What preparation is included

Your questions about regrouting in Fingest
Is Fingest in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Fingest is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Fingest within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fingest can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
