Ightham: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Ightham within the area you cover?
Yes. Ightham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much does regrouting cost in Ightham?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Regrouting in Ightham, done properly
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Ightham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Ightham
Regrouting in Ightham: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ightham
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
What affects the cost of regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
When to call us in Ightham
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ightham 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

Why act early in Ightham
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Ightham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
