DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
About our regrouting in West Ilsley
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We’re often asked to deal with cracked grout along the bath or tray and floor grout that won’t come clean, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around West Ilsley are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

FAQs for West Ilsley
Will you come out to West Ilsley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is West Ilsley in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Ilsley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover West Ilsley and the rest of West Berkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you need regrouting in West Ilsley?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around West Ilsley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as West Ilsley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
