Regrouting for homes and businesses in Ingrave
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 nothing is ripped out. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Around Ingrave, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ingrave as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Ingrave questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Brentwood station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Ingrave?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Regrouting around Ingrave
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Brentwood station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

When to call us in Ingrave
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you look after a building such as Brentwood County High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Ingrave, 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.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
