How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How we handle regrouting in Balham
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Common call-outs are for greasy, stained grout behind the hob and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Balham, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balham
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a flat in Balham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Balham
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout washed out of a shower
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Balham. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Balham
Balham: your questions answered
I live in a flat in Balham. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Balham?
Parking in Balham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What regrouting looks like in Balham
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. 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.
Balham is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Ravenstone Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
