Regrouting for homes and businesses in Neames Forstal
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In a village or hamlet like Neames Forstal, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Neames Forstal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Neames Forstal, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Regrouting around Neames Forstal
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Selling Church of England Primary School? Then 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Selling station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What else we do in Neames Forstal
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles

Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
