How we handle regrouting in Eight Ash Green
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are shower grout that has worn away and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
In a village or hamlet like Eight Ash Green, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
What we’re called out for in Eight Ash Green
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
Bathrooms and kitchens in Eight Ash Green
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eight Ash Green. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.

What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Around Eight Ash Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Can you regrout just the shower?

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
