How we handle regrouting in Cranbrook
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and old grout in a dated colour, we can help.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Cranbrook are no different.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. In Cranbrook, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlord and commercial work in Cranbrook
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need regrouting in Cranbrook?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Cranbrook is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Regrouting around Cranbrook
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as The Ursuline Academy Ilford, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Ilford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How we quote for regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Your questions about regrouting in Cranbrook
Could a tired shower seal in my Cranbrook flat affect the neighbours below?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ilford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
