Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Skippers Hill can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How we handle regrouting in Skippers Hill
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’re often asked to deal with good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Skippers Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Skippers Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Skippers Hill
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Skippers Hill Manor School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Skippers Hill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of the Good Shepherd, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Leave it or put it right?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Skippers Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Skippers Hill: your questions answered
Is Skippers Hill in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Skippers Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crowborough station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
