How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Regrouting in Folkington
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We’re often asked to deal with good tiles let down by tired grout and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Folkington, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Regrouting in Folkington: local notes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to The Parish Church of Saint Peter include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Folkington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Folkington
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
Managing a site like Willingdon Community School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
FAQs for Folkington
Is Folkington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Folkington
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Folkington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
