- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
Regrouting in Anthill Common
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Homes around Anthill Common are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Anthill Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Anthill Common
Do you cover Anthill Common for regrouting?
Yes, Anthill Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Portchester station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Anthill Common
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What affects the quote in Anthill Common
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
