Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
About our regrouting in Southbourne
Across Southbourne, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Common call-outs are for greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
In a smaller place like Southbourne, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Common problems we fix in Southbourne
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southbourne Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Your questions about regrouting in Southbourne
Will you come out to Southbourne?
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.
I let a flat near Southbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Southbourne homes and their sealant
Southbourne is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St. John's, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Southbourne station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Southbourne, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
