Why it’s worth doing now in Tatsfield

New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Tatsfield, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Why us?

  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Regrouting in Tatsfield, done properly

Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.

London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Tatsfield, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

Our work is backed for twelve months.

Tatsfield homes and their sealant

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Tatsfield is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Charles Darwin School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Oxted station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Tatsfield is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Greater London. Tatsfield gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

Tatsfield questions

I live in a flat in Tatsfield. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?

Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Tatsfield?

Parking in Tatsfield, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Do you come to Tatsfield?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Tatsfield included.

Do I need to be at home?

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before any work starts.

How long does the job take?

It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Quotes for regrouting in Tatsfield

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Any working-time requirements on site

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Helping us quote

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Tatsfield, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice

DIY versus a professional finish

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Keep the fan on after showering

Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damaged tiles that need replacing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Tatsfield

  • Bathroom wall tiles
