Addiewell Regrouting

About our regrouting in Addiewell
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Addiewell homes and their sealant
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you let a flat or house near Addiewell station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common problems we fix in Addiewell
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout washed out of a shower
Around Addiewell, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from Addiewell
I let a flat near Addiewell station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Addiewell?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are chipped or split
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Addiewell
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. Outdoor work around Addiewell depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
