Regrouting in Wichling, Kent

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a small place like Wichling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why Wichling clients choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

About our regrouting in Wichling
Across Wichling, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Wichling makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Wichling, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Bathrooms and kitchens in Wichling
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Signs you need regrouting in Wichling
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Letting a property close to Lenham station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Common questions in Wichling
Do you cover smaller places like Wichling?
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.
Do you cover Wichling for regrouting?
Yes, Wichling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Wichling and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
