Regrouting around Ashburton
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
In the older streets around Church of St Luke, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Ashburton is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Regrouting in Ashburton, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include splashback grout that has darkened and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Ashburton, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
What we are called out for in Ashburton
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Managing a site like St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long to leave it before use
- What preparation is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Ashburton. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Ashburton
Can worn sealant in a flat in Ashburton cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking a problem for a job in Ashburton?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
What affects the quote in Ashburton
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
