Regrouting around Borden
Borden has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
If you look after a building such as Borden Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Borden
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We are often asked to deal with grout that makes sound tiles look old and old grout in a dated colour, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
For a small place like Borden, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common questions in Borden
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Borden?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is Borden within the area you cover?
Yes. Borden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Borden?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Borden, 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.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Borden, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Borden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need regrouting in Borden?
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
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.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the quote in Borden
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
