Regrouting in Fortis Green
We cover Fortis Green for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Fortis Green, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We are often asked to deal with old grout in a dated colour and grout in corners that has cracked, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Fortis Green, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In Fortis Green, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Fortis Green: your questions answered
I live in a flat in Fortis Green. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work for landlords with property near Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Fortis Green?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you need regrouting in Fortis Green?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
Homes close to United Reformed Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What regrouting looks like in Fortis Green
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Alexandra Palace station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Fortismere School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fortis Green
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
