Regrouting in Selmeston
Tiled areas in Selmeston need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Regrouting in Selmeston, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
For a small place like Selmeston, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

Selmeston homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Berwick (Sussex) station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Common problems we fix in Selmeston
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Selmeston, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the quote in Selmeston
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Selmeston and the rest of East Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
