Trusted regrouting in Ford

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Ford

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.

For a small place like Ford, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How to look after the new joints

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Skip wire brushes and scourers
Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower

Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ford, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ford

Ford is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as The Littlehampton Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Ford is about 2 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. If you need regrouting in Ford, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for a quick quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What affects the cost of regrouting

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

Working hours on commercial sites
How much there is to do
Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The product the joint needs

We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

What’s wrong with the joints now
The rough size of the job
Whether it’s a home or a business
If someone has resealed it before

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

How it works

On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Ford, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
We remove the old grout carefully.
Dust is cleared from every joint.
The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Advice

Regrouting or Resealing: Which Do You Need?

Ford: your questions answered

Is Ford in your area for regrouting?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ford is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Ford?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you grout the corners?

Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.

Common problems we fix in Ford

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
