Regrouting in Foxholes
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include crumbling grout between the tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Around Foxholes, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Foxholes
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Schools such as Wheatcroft Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Foxholes, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Landlord and commercial work in Foxholes

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What regrouting looks like in Foxholes
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. Foxholes has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Hertford East station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Foxholes, 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.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
If you are in Foxholes and need regrouting, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Common questions in Foxholes
Will you come out to Foxholes?
Yes, Foxholes is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Foxholes?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
How much does regrouting cost in Foxholes?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
