What affects the quote in South Hinksey
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Regrouting in South Hinksey
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that makes sound tiles look old and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Homes around South Hinksey are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. 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 one-year guarantee, the same in South Hinksey as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in South Hinksey
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like South Hinksey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Bathrooms and kitchens in South Hinksey
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. South Hinksey has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
South Hinksey: your questions answered
I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to South Hinksey?
Yes, South Hinksey is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as South Hinksey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
