When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Cray's Pond
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have floor grout that won’t come clean and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Cray's Pond, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cray's Pond as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about regrouting in Cray's Pond
Do you cover smaller places like Cray's Pond?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Cray's Pond, along with the rest of our area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Regrouting in Cray's Pond: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cray's Pond can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Cray's Pond, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It usually fails first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
What we’re called out for in Cray's Pond
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
Homes close to Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
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 so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
