- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Regrouting in Tiptree Heath, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for crumbling grout between the tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and shower walls.
Somewhere as small as Tiptree Heath, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Regrouting around Tiptree Heath
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Kelvedon station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Tiptree Heath Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
Do you need regrouting in Tiptree Heath?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Homes close to Church of St Luke include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tiptree Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

FAQs for Tiptree Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Kelvedon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Tiptree Heath for regrouting?
Yes, Tiptree Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How long should I wait before showering?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Tiptree Heath, along with the rest of our area.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
