Regrouting in Gravesend, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Gravesend are handled the same careful way. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
For a small place like Gravesend, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Signs you need regrouting in Gravesend
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gravesend can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Regrouting in Gravesend: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common questions in Gravesend
Will you come out to Gravesend?
Yes. Gravesend is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Bishops Stortford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Gravesend and the rest of Hertfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Gravesend, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
