How the visit works
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. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Five Wents, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Regrouting in Five Wents
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Common call-outs are for greasy, stained grout behind the hob and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across wet rooms, shower walls and tiled floors.
Homes around Five Wents are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Five Wents
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hollingbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Five Wents?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based 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.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you need regrouting in Five Wents?
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For landlords with property near Hollingbourne station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting in Five Wents: local notes
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.
Managing a site like Sutton Valence Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It usually fails first.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Why act early in Five Wents
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We will tell you before we start so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Five Wents, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
