How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to West Reading is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit

About our regrouting in West Reading
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour.
In a smaller place like West Reading, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Reading as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about regrouting in West Reading
Is West Reading within the area you cover?
Yes. West Reading is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around West Reading?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: 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 need regrouting in West Reading?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Rented homes near Reading West station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Why act early in West Reading
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, 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 West Reading, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and agents in West Reading can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Regrouting around West Reading
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West Reading. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Battle School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
