How we handle regrouting in Painter's Forstal
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you’re dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Painter's Forstal are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It normally fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

Regrouting around Painter's Forstal
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Ospringe Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

FAQs for Painter's Forstal
Is Painter's Forstal in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Painter's Forstal is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Painter's Forstal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
