How we handle regrouting in Forest Hill
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Homes around Forest Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

Forest Hill homes and their sealant
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 Sandhills Community Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, 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 Forest Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- 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.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forest Hill
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Forest Hill and across Oxfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
FAQs for Forest Hill
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Forest Hill?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Forest Hill?
Yes, Forest Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Forest Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Forest Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
