Regrouting for Upton and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.

  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Shower grout that has worn away
  • Old grout in a dated colour

Why deal with it now?

Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Upton.

Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

About our regrouting in Upton

We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.

Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.

You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Upton as everywhere else we work.

How it works

We keep the work tidy 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. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Questions from Upton

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Upton?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.

Can worn sealant in a flat in Upton cause a leak downstairs?

Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Upton and the rest of Greater London.

Are you insured?

Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.

Should I try it myself first?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • Damaged tiles that need replacing

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of regrouting

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many areas need sealing

The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If someone has resealed it before

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Regrouting in Upton: local notes

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Homes close to Trinity Baptist Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Upland 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. Upton is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.

Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
