Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Birling
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Birling, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Birling: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Birling?
Yes. Birling 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.
Can you do regrouting in Birling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Birling is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Birling, along with the rest of our area.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Birling, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Signs you need regrouting in Birling
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ryarsh Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Quotes for regrouting in Birling
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Birling homes and their sealant
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near West Malling station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
