Regrouting in Abbess Roding
Our applicators work in Abbess Roding on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
Signs you need regrouting in Abbess Roding
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Homes close to Church of St Edmund include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Regrouting in Abbess Roding, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Homes around Abbess Roding are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Abbess Roding as everywhere else we work.

Advice
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Abbess Roding: your questions answered
Is Abbess Roding within the area you cover?
Yes. Abbess Roding is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Abbess Roding?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
