East Malling homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around East Malling. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near East Malling station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
East Malling is about 4 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. East Malling gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in East Malling
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Smaller places like East Malling still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in East Malling
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you look after a building such as St James the Great Academy, 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.

Landlord and commercial work in East Malling
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking around East Malling is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common questions in East Malling
Do you work for landlords with property near East Malling station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like East Malling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Which products 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 work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around East Malling, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
