Regrouting for homes and businesses in Custom House
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, across shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Custom House are no different.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Custom House
Is parking a problem for a job in Custom House?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I live in a flat in Custom House. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep the fan on after showering
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.
Quotes for regrouting in Custom House
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Regrouting in Custom House: local notes
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. Custom House has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Custom House station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What’s near Custom House

Green spaces nearby include Gilbert's Pit and Tower Hill.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Custom House. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. 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 Custom House, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely

What we’re called out for in Custom House
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
Custom House is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before booking
