Regrouting in Forstal
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. We’re often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
For a small place like Forstal, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Signs you need regrouting in Forstal
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Letting a property close to Aylesford station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Forstal questions
Will you come out to Forstal?
Yes. Forstal is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Forstal for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Forstal is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Regrouting in Forstal: local notes
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.
Schools such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Methodist Church Including Sunday School include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Forstal, access is often the only tricky part.

- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Why act early in Forstal
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Forstal, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
