DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Regrouting in Sand Hill
We work across Sand Hill, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Sand Hill makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sand Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Do you need regrouting in Sand Hill?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: 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 Sand Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sand Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
