Regrouting for homes and businesses in Stratfield Mortimer
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Stratfield Mortimer are handled the same careful way. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that makes sound tiles look old.

Questions from Stratfield Mortimer
Is Stratfield Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes, Stratfield Mortimer is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Mortimer station?
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’ll give you a clear price.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Signs you need regrouting in Stratfield Mortimer
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Schools such as Mortimer St Mary's C.E. Junior School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What regrouting looks like in Stratfield Mortimer
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint John The Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Stratfield Mortimer, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Stratfield Mortimer, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
