Regrouting in Broadfield, West Sussex
Professional regrouting in and around Broadfield, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Signs you need regrouting in Broadfield
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you let a flat or house near Crawley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How we handle regrouting in Broadfield
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout along the bath or tray and floor grout that won’t come clean.
In a smaller place like Broadfield, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Broadfield
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crawley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Broadfield?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in Broadfield may already be on their second or third set.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Broadfield and the rest of West Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.

What else we do in Broadfield
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Broadfield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Regrouting in Broadfield: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Crawley, which Broadfield is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ The Lord, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Seymour Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In an older home around Broadfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
