How we handle regrouting in Fair Cross
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We are often asked to deal with grout washed out of a shower and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, across bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
For a small place like Fair Cross, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Fair Cross and across West Berkshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
Do you need regrouting in Fair Cross?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Regrouting in Fair Cross: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St. Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Fair Cross is about 6 miles east of Tadley, in West Berkshire. Fair Cross gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Reading, about 6 miles away.
Jobs for regrouting in RG7 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else.

Larger places within reach include Newbury (14 miles west), Thatcham (11 miles west), Burghfield Common (4 miles north-west), Speenhamland (14 miles west), Spencers Wood (3 miles north-east) and Calcot (6 miles north).
Around Fair Cross

Why it’s worth doing now in Fair Cross
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a small place like Fair Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Questions from Fair Cross
Do you cover Fair Cross for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fair Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Fair Cross?
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.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not 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.
What affects the quote in Fair Cross
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Fair Cross, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
