What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Postling
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you have discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Postling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Postling
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
For landlords with property near Sandling station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What regrouting looks like in Postling
Postling is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St Radegund, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Postling
Is Postling within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Postling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Postling is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Postling?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Postling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Postling
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
