Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Regrouting in Eling, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks alike.
In a smaller place like Eling, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Eling and across Southampton.

Common questions in Eling
Do you work in hotels near Eling?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is Eling within the area you cover?
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.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How much does regrouting cost in Eling?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Regrouting around Eling
Eling is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Eling Infant School and Nursery, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Totton station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Southampton. Our applicators cover regrouting for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Eling, as part of our work across Southampton. Eling is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton we cover for regrouting.

Local landmarks in Eling

Other landmarks nearby include Eling Experience (0.6 miles north) and Westquay (3.5 miles east). For a walk, there’s Testwood Lakes.
Signs you need regrouting in Eling
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a smaller place like Eling, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a smaller place like Eling, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
