About regrouting in Surrey

Across Surrey, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Around Guildford

In Guildford, that means homes and buildings near Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (under half a mile east), Stoke Park (under half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (under half a mile south-east). Guildford’s nearest station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Not far away are Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Bathrooms and kitchens across Surrey

Across Surrey, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in Surrey, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Guildford: For landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Sandfield Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for regrouting

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The product the joint needs

The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

DIY versus a professional finish

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.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Common problems we fix in Surrey

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Grout that’s cracking and breaking up

Surface by surface

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

Shower walls

Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.

Common questions in Surrey

Can you regrout just the shower?

Yes, that’s common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Surrey, along with the rest of our area.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.

How long will you be here?

A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will confirm how long when we quote.

Should I try DIY first?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
