Regrouting in Greenigoe, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and shower grout that has worn away, on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
In and around a place like Greenigoe, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job

Bathrooms and kitchens in Greenigoe
Greenigoe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For jobs in and around Greenigoe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Your questions about regrouting in Greenigoe
Do you cover Greenigoe for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Greenigoe is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Greenigoe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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 know where you stand.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Which products do you use?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Common problems we fix in Greenigoe
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
In and around Greenigoe, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Greenigoe may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
