Regrouting in Rivenhall End
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout in corners that has cracked.
Around Rivenhall End, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Common problems we fix in Rivenhall End
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you let a flat or house near Witham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

FAQs for Rivenhall End
Can you do regrouting in Rivenhall End?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rivenhall End is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rivenhall End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Rivenhall End homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary and All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Rivenhall Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
