Regrouting in Lower Slackstead, done properly
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Lower Slackstead are handled the same careful way. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that has worn and darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Somewhere as small as Lower Slackstead, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Lower Slackstead needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Slackstead can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Lower Slackstead: your questions answered
Is Lower Slackstead in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Lower Slackstead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Slackstead?
Yes, Lower Slackstead is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that’s common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
When to call us in Lower Slackstead
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

- What preparation is included

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Lower Slackstead
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
