Regrouting in Hackney Marshes, Greater London
Professional regrouting in and around Hackney Marshes, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Old grout in a dated colour
Regrouting in Hackney Marshes, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Hackney Marshes, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Hackney Marshes. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
What regrouting looks like in Hackney Marshes
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. 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.
As a London address, Hackney Marshes can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Homes close to The Risen Christ and All Souls include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Hackney Marshes
Do you work for landlords with property near Lea Bridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Hackney Marshes. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Hackney Marshes and the rest of Greater London.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Hackney Marshes?
Yes. We work in Hackney Marshes, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs you need regrouting in Hackney Marshes
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Schools such as Kingsmead Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
