Regrouting in Shorne Ridgeway
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for Shorne Ridgeway, backed by a 12-month guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Shorne Ridgeway
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and old grout in a dated colour.
In a village or hamlet like Shorne Ridgeway, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Shorne Ridgeway and across Kent.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne Ridgeway
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shorne Ridgeway, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common questions in Shorne Ridgeway
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Higham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Shorne Ridgeway?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Shorne Ridgeway, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Shorne Ridgeway
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
