- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Regrouting in Markbeech, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Around Markbeech, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Markbeech homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided 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. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Cowden station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

FAQs for Markbeech
Will you come out to Markbeech?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cowden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Markbeech, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Markbeech, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
