Regrouting in Southsea, done properly
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that has worn and darkened and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Around Southsea, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the quote in Southsea
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For regrouting in Southsea, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In Southsea, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Southsea
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Around Southsea, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southsea
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

When to call us in Southsea
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret of Scotland, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Southsea 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.

Southsea: your questions answered
I let a flat near Fratton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near Southsea?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
