Merston Regrouting
Tiled areas in Merston need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
About our regrouting in Merston
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and crumbling grout between the tiles, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
For a small place like Merston, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Regrouting in Merston: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 North Mundham Primary 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. Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

FAQs for Merston
Is Merston in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Merston is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we’re called out for in Merston
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Merston, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
