Rooksdown homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fort Hill Community 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.

About our regrouting in Rooksdown
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout washed out of a shower, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
In a smaller place like Rooksdown, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Rooksdown is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the quote in Rooksdown
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Common questions in Rooksdown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Rooksdown in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rooksdown is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need regrouting in Rooksdown?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
