How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Leave it or put it right?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Homes in smaller places like Fords Farm can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What guarantee comes with the work?

Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

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.
Common problems we fix in Fords Farm
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Fords Farm, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
