About our regrouting in Cross End
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you have dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Cross End makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Cross End
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Bures station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Quotes for regrouting in Cross End
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Cross End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
What we are called out for in Cross End
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Cross End: your questions answered
Do you cover Cross End for regrouting?
Yes, Cross End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Cross End?
Yes, we do. 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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
