Hockley questions
Is Hockley within the area you cover?
Yes, Hockley 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 work for landlords with property near Hockley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
How we handle regrouting in Hockley
Across Hockley, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout washed out of a shower, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
In and around Hockley, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In an older home around Hockley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Hockley
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Hockley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hockley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Hockley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greensward Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Emmanuel Church Hall, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Bathroom wall tiles
