Regrouting in Hartlip
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 has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and shower grout that has worn away.
Homes around Hartlip are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Hartlip, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hartlip
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hartlip can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we are called out for in Hartlip
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you look after a building such as Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Hartlip

- The number of rooms or windows

- Which sealant suits the joint
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’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Hartlip: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Newington station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Hartlip?
Yes, Hartlip 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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Regrouting in Hartlip: local notes
Hartlip is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Newington station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
