Regrouting in Luddesdown, Kent
Professional regrouting in and around Luddesdown, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, 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.
About our regrouting in Luddesdown
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Luddesdown, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you cover smaller places like Luddesdown?

I let a flat near Sole Street station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

What regrouting looks like in Luddesdown
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Meopham School? Then 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. Homes close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Luddesdown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
