- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For homes and businesses in busier parts of Winchester, parking needs a little planning. Let us know about stairs, lifts or shared entrances too.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Winchester
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you have old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Lots of homes in Winchester are rented, and bathrooms in rentals work hard. Fresh sealant and clean grout help a property present well between tenants and stop water getting where it shouldn’t.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

FAQs for Winchester
Can you do regrouting in Winchester?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Winchester is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Winchester?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Winchester
Winchester has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like St Bede Church of England Primary 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. For landlords with property near Winchester station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Busy buildings in Winchester, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Do you need regrouting in Winchester?
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Homes close to St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
