Why it’s worth doing now in Lenham Forstal
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Lenham Forstal, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

About our regrouting in Lenham Forstal
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and good tiles let down by tired grout.
In a village or hamlet like Lenham Forstal, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Regrouting in Lenham Forstal: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lenham Forstal. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Lenham 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 the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Lenham Forstal, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Questions from Lenham Forstal
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lenham Forstal?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Lenham Forstal.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
When to call us in Lenham Forstal
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Schools such as The Lenham School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
