Regrouting in Childs Hill
We cover Childs Hill for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
If you are in Childs Hill and need regrouting, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
How we handle regrouting in Childs Hill
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Childs Hill more than a cosmetic job.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Childs Hill and across Greater London.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In Childs Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. 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 Childs Hill, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Childs Hill
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. As a London address, Childs Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

FAQs for Childs Hill
I live in a flat in Childs Hill. 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’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you take on hotel work around Childs Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Childs Hill and the rest of Greater London.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.
What we’re called out for in Childs Hill
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Managing a site like All Saints' CofE Primary School NW2? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
