Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hollow Street
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that has worn and darkened and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Around Hollow Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting around Hollow Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Sturry station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Schools such as Chislet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Hollow Street is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Jobs in Hollow Street get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hollow Street
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Hollow Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hollow Street
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What affects the quote in Hollow Street
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Hollow Street, 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
