Regrouting in Matfield: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England 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. For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you live in an older home near Ebenezer Church (Matfield), bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our regrouting in Matfield
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Somewhere as small as Matfield, 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 comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Matfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around Matfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Matfield
- Tidy, careful work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

See our cost guide and our reviews.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
