Regrouting in West Berkshire

Our regrouting service in West Berkshire

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. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.

Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room.

  1. We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
  2. Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Local landmarks in Newbury

In Newbury, that means homes and buildings near St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School and the streets around them. Nearby too are The Diamond Tap (under half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (within half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). Newbury has its own railway station: Newbury station. Nearby you’ll also find Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). Open spaces near Newbury include Audrey's Meadow.

Where we work in West Berkshire

Our regrouting work across West Berkshire covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in West Berkshire, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Newbury: If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicolas Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges

A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.

Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Why act early?

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling.

What your quote should include

  • What the cure time is
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What guarantee comes with the work
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint

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.

Bathroom wall tiles

Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.

What we are called out for in West Berkshire

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray

When it isn’t the sealant

In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Cracked or broken tiles

FAQs for West Berkshire

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Do you come to West Berkshire?

Yes, we do. Our applicators work in West Berkshire, and the service is the same as everywhere else.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover West Berkshire, along with the rest of our area.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

How long should I wait before showering?

We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
