What affects the quote in Fox Street
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Regrouting in Fox Street
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
For a small place like Fox Street, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fox Street
New grout smeared over the old does not 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 Fox Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What does regrouting cost?

Do I have to be there?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Fox Street homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roach Vale Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Hythe station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of St John, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What else we do in Fox Street
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
