About our regrouting in High Cross
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around High Cross, it’s 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlord and commercial work in High Cross
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
What we’re called out for in High Cross
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
High Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
Yes, we do. 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.
I let a flat near Ware station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like High Cross 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.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Bathrooms and kitchens in High Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Ware station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Why act early in High Cross
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a small place like High Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
