Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
About our regrouting in Bonnyrigg
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour.
With generally soft Scottish Water supplies, limescale is less of an issue in Bonnyrigg than in hard-water areas. But mould still finds its way into sealant and grout wherever a room stays damp.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Bonnyrigg
Common questions in Bonnyrigg
Do you work for landlords with property near Eskbank station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Bonnyrigg?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What we’re called out for in Bonnyrigg
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
If you live in an older home near Bonnyrigg Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What regrouting looks like in Bonnyrigg
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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you look after a building such as Lasswade High School Centre, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Eskbank station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking around Bonnyrigg is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
