Regrouting in Apse Heath
We cover Apse Heath for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Regrouting in Apse Heath, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Common call-outs are for grout in corners that has cracked and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
In a village or hamlet like Apse Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What regrouting looks like in Apse Heath
Apse Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Sandown Bay Academy are buildings too, and 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Apse Heath
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Apse Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Apse Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Where are you based?

Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Related advice
Do you need regrouting in Apse Heath?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
