About our regrouting in Andover Down
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Common call-outs are for grout that makes sound tiles look old and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Andover Down, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Andover Down, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Andover Down
Do you cover smaller places like Andover Down?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Andover Down, along with the rest of our area.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need regrouting in Andover Down
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you look after a building such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary 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.
