Regrouting in Cheam: local notes
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For landlords with property near Cheam station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Glaisdale School, 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.
Cheam is about 1 mile south-west of Sutton, in Greater London. From the centre of Cheam to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. For nearby work, see our London page.

About our regrouting in Cheam
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Cheam, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
FAQs for Cheam
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Cheam?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Cheam cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you come to Cheam?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Cheam included.

When to call us in Cheam
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
As a London address, Cheam can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Advice
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
