About our regrouting in Fordstreet
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Fordstreet, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Fordstreet: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Fordstreet?
Yes, Fordstreet is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Fordstreet?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fordstreet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Fordstreet, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Regrouting around Fordstreet
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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. Rented homes near Chappel & Wakes Colne station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret and St Catherine, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
