About our regrouting in Tooting Bec
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What regrouting looks like in Tooting Bec
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. 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.
As a London address, Tooting Bec can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For an older house near a landmark such as St Augustine, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Tooting Bec can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a flat in Tooting Bec, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about regrouting in Tooting Bec
I let a flat near Tooting station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Tooting Bec. 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Tooting Bec?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In Tooting Bec, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

What we’re called out for in Tooting Bec
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
