Old Ford homes and their sealant
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. Old Ford has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Hackney Wick station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mulberry UTC, 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.
Old Ford is about 2 miles west of Plaistow, in Greater London. We provide regrouting to homes and businesses in Old Ford and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Greater London. Old Ford is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work for regrouting.

About our regrouting in Old Ford
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We’re often asked to deal with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and old grout in a dated colour, on bathroom floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Old Ford more than a cosmetic job.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors

When to call us in Old Ford
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Old Ford is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.

Why act early in Old Ford
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Old Ford, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

Questions from Old Ford
I let a flat near Hackney Wick station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Old Ford 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. For a job in Old Ford, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
