Regrouting in Furnace Green
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Homes around Furnace Green range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why it’s worth doing now in Furnace Green
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In an older home around Furnace Green, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Furnace Green
Is Furnace Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Three Bridges station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
What affects the quote in Furnace Green
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For regrouting in Furnace Green, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Furnace Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What we’re called out for in Furnace Green
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Schools such as Brook Infant 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
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different

Furnace Green homes and their sealant
Furnace Green is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
