DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle regrouting in Bonchester Bridge
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors.
A bathroom in a place like Bonchester Bridge gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Regrouting in Bonchester Bridge: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.

Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Bonchester Bridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

- Crumbling grout between the tiles
