Regrouting in Stock
Professional regrouting in and around Stock, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.

How we handle regrouting in Stock
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout that makes sound tiles look old and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
For a small place like Stock, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Stock
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Rented homes near Billericay station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stock
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Stock Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
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 affects the quote in Stock
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Stock, 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.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stock can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Stock: your questions answered
Do you cover Stock for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stock is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Billericay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Stock and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
