Regrouting for homes and businesses in Burstow
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you’re dealing with floor grout that has worn and darkened and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Burstow, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Burstow
Will you come out to Burstow?
Yes. Burstow 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 help a landlord with a rental near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Burstow, along with the rest of our area.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

What affects the quote in Burstow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
When to call us in Burstow
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you look after a building such as Oakwood School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Burstow, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Burstow
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Burstow. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Gatwick Airport station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
