How we handle regrouting in Handcross
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that makes sound tiles look old, across shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
For a small place like Handcross, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about regrouting in Handcross
Do you work for landlords with property near Balcombe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Handcross in your area for regrouting?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before we start so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around Handcross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Handcross: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Balcombe station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Signs you need regrouting in Handcross
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
