How we handle regrouting in Criddlestyle
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include old grout in a dated colour and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Criddlestyle are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we are called out for in Criddlestyle
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to St Giles include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Criddlestyle needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

FAQs for Criddlestyle
Do you cover smaller places like Criddlestyle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is regrouting in Criddlestyle guaranteed?
All our work, in Criddlestyle and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Criddlestyle.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Criddlestyle
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, 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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

What sealant work cannot fix

- Damaged tiles that need replacing
