Professional regrouting in and around West Kensington, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
How we handle regrouting in West Kensington
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and good tiles let down by tired grout, across wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In West Kensington, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

DIY versus a professional 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 a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
FAQs for West Kensington
I let a flat near Kensington Olympia station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Could a tired shower seal in my West Kensington flat affect the neighbours 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. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How the job changes by surface

Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What affects the quote in West Kensington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Regrouting in West Kensington: local notes
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. 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.
West Kensington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as The Fulham Boys School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Kensington Olympia station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in West Kensington, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
