Regrouting in Fordham Heath, 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. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Homes around Fordham Heath are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Fordham Heath
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Fordham Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We are fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What regrouting looks like in Fordham Heath
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to All Saints Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common questions in Fordham Heath
Do you cover Fordham Heath for regrouting?
Yes, Fordham Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Marks Tey station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
How much does regrouting cost in Fordham Heath?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In a small place like Fordham Heath, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
