Your questions about regrouting in Chilworth
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swaythling station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Chilworth in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chilworth is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Chilworth and the rest of Southampton.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Regrouting in Chilworth, done properly
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Chilworth are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and shower walls.
In a village or hamlet like Chilworth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton.

What we’re called out for in Chilworth
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
In the older streets around Church of St Denys, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
What affects the quote in Chilworth
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What regrouting looks like in Chilworth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Cantell School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Swaythling station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Chilworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
