How we handle regrouting in Balmullo
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
For a place like Balmullo, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
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.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.

What regrouting looks like in Balmullo
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Leuchars station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In and around Balmullo, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In an older home around Balmullo, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Around Balmullo, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
