How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Old Coulsdon
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
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.
Do you need regrouting in Old Coulsdon?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Schools such as Keston Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Regrouting in Old Coulsdon: local notes
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
As a London address, Old Coulsdon can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Coulsdon South station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Old Coulsdon
I let a flat near Coulsdon South station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Could a tired shower seal in my Old Coulsdon flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
