DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
About our regrouting in High Cogges
We work across High Cogges, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can help.
Homes around High Cogges are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like High Cogges, access is generally 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.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in High Cogges
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Cogges can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Other services in High Cogges
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
High Cogges: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near High Cogges?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you cover High Cogges?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Do you need regrouting in High Cogges?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you look after a building such as The Blake Church of England Primary School, 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work

Regrouting around High Cogges
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around High Cogges. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Combe station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
