Regrouting around Tonge Corner
Tonge Corner is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How we handle regrouting in Tonge Corner
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and shower grout that has worn away.
For a small place like Tonge Corner, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Tonge Corner
Will you come out to Tonge Corner?
Yes. Tonge Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Tonge Corner in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tonge Corner is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Tonge Corner, along with the rest of our area.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We usually do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Tonge Corner, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
When to call us in Tonge Corner
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Schools such as Lansdowne Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
