How we handle regrouting in Downend
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Being in a small place like Downend makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Downend: your questions answered
Do you cover Downend for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Downend is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Downend?
All our work, in Downend and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Downend, along with the rest of our area.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Regrouting in Downend: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Downend needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Signs you need regrouting in Downend
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
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. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Downend, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Tidy, careful work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
