About our regrouting in Shanklin
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Around Shanklin, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Shanklin and across the Isle of Wight.

Shanklin questions
Do you work in hotels near Shanklin?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Shanklin?
Yes. Shanklin is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower normally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can

Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Shanklin homes and their sealant
Shanklin is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Shanklin has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy, 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. If you live in an older home near St. Paul's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Shanklin is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Do you need regrouting in Shanklin?
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
