Berden Regrouting
Our applicators work in Berden on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Berden
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that makes sound tiles look old and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
Somewhere as small as Berden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Berden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Signs you need regrouting in Berden
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you live in an older home near St. Nicholas Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse the tiles after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What regrouting looks like in Berden
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Berden: your questions answered
Is Berden in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Berden is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Berden?
Yes. Berden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How much does regrouting cost in Berden?
