Regrouting in Lower Holloway, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Lower Holloway are handled the same careful way. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are good tiles let down by tired grout and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Lower Holloway, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What else we do in Lower Holloway
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Why act early in Lower Holloway
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. 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 Lower Holloway, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Lower Holloway questions
Can worn sealant in a flat in Lower Holloway 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. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you work for landlords with property near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Lower Holloway?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Lower Holloway included.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How much does regrouting cost in Lower Holloway?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Regrouting around Lower Holloway
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Holloway. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
