How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A floor or wall that keeps moving

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Hunters Forstal homes and their sealant
Hunters Forstal is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hunters Forstal. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Herne Church of England Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions from Hunters Forstal
Do you take on hotel work around Hunters Forstal?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Hunters Forstal?
Yes, Hunters Forstal is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Hunters Forstal, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
