Advice
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Knatts Valley
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Typical jobs include kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and crumbling grout between the tiles, on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls.
Being in a small place like Knatts Valley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Knatts Valley
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Knatts Valley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting around Knatts Valley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Kemsing station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School, 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. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Knatts Valley questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kemsing station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Knatts Valley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
