How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Fordcombe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning 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.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

What else we do in Fordcombe
Fordcombe: your questions answered
Is Fordcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Fordcombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ashurst Kent station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own will not fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Fordcombe homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Ashurst Kent station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Signs you need regrouting in Fordcombe
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Schools such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
