Ridge: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Potters Bar station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Ridge for regrouting?
Yes, Ridge is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Ridge
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you are dealing with grout washed out of a shower and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can put it right.
Homes around Ridge are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ridge as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Ridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ridge
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Ridge can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ridge
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a small place like Ridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why Ridge customers choose us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
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.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles

Regrouting in Ridge: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as St Giles' CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Potters Bar station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
