How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Chalkwell, 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.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Regrouting in Chalkwell
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout washed out of a shower and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Even in a smaller place like Chalkwell, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Regrouting around Chalkwell
Chalkwell is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Chalkwell Hall Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Chalkwell: your questions answered
Will you come out to Chalkwell?
Yes, Chalkwell is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in Chalkwell?
Yes, Chalkwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Signs you need regrouting in Chalkwell
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Rented homes near Chalkwell station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In an older home around Chalkwell, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
