How we handle regrouting in Clapton
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
Around Clapton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clapton and across West Berkshire.

Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Clapton homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Swithin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Clapton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you need regrouting in Clapton?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Questions from Clapton
Is Clapton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
