DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our regrouting in Tankerton
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and crumbling grout between the tiles.
In and around Tankerton, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Tankerton and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tankerton
Tankerton is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Whitstable station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tankerton
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a smaller place like Tankerton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Common problems we fix in Tankerton
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Your questions about regrouting in Tankerton
Is Tankerton within the area you cover?
Yes, Tankerton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Tankerton in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Tankerton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Tankerton and the rest of Kent.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, 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 smaller place like Tankerton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
