Regrouting in Crofton, Greater London

Tiled areas in Crofton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles

Regrouting for Crofton homes and businesses

Leave it or put it right?

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.

Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Crofton

Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.

London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Crofton, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Crofton questions

Can worn sealant in a flat in Crofton cause a leak downstairs?

It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Crofton?

Parking in Crofton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.

Is the work guaranteed?

You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.

Do you grout the corners?

Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Crofton?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

When something else is needed

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Tiles that are chipped or split

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Wet rooms

Bathrooms and kitchens in Crofton

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling 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.

Schools such as Crofton Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Crofton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we quote for regrouting

There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:

Surface by surface

Bathroom wall tiles

Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.

Bathroom floors

Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges

Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

How it works

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common problems we fix in Crofton

When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

Homes close to Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
