About our regrouting in Preston Candover
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Common call-outs are for floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout washed out of a shower, on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
For a small place like Preston Candover, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Preston Candover: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Preston Candover?
All our work, in Preston Candover and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Preston Candover?
Yes. Preston Candover is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
What affects the quote in Preston Candover
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

What else we do in Preston Candover
Regrouting in Preston Candover: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St. Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Do you need regrouting in Preston Candover?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
Schools such as Preston Candover Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Preston Candover, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
