How we handle regrouting in Great Hormead
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and splashback grout that has darkened, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Great Hormead, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Great Hormead questions
Is regrouting in Great Hormead guaranteed?
All our work, in Great Hormead and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Hormead?
Yes, Great Hormead is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout doesn’t 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 regrouting looks like in Great Hormead
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why act early in Great Hormead
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Great Hormead, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Great Hormead
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hormead Church of England (VA) First School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
