Botany Regrouting
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Botany. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Botany
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Botany are handled the same careful way. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, across bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a tenement in Botany, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

FAQs for Botany
I let a flat near Summerston station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Botany leak into the flat below?
It can. Tenement floors are usually timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you cover Botany?
Yes. We work in Botany and the rest of Glasgow, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
When to call us in Botany
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you let a flat or house near Summerston station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Botany homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Botany. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Cleveden Secondary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
