Regrouting in Bantaskin
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and floor grout that won’t come clean.
In and around a place like Bantaskin, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Bantaskin homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Bantaskin has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Falkirk High station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Homes close to Falkirk include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Falkirk High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bantaskin: your questions answered
Is Bantaskin within the area you cover?
Yes, Bantaskin is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work in hotels near Bantaskin?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
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. Around Bantaskin, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
