What sealant work can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Burnhouse

Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that makes sound tiles look old and old grout in a dated colour.

For a place like Burnhouse, 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.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Burnhouse, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Landlords and agents in Burnhouse can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Can I do it myself?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Outdoor work around Burnhouse depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Check the corner silicone every few months

A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.

Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

What we’re called out for in Burnhouse

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

The problems people normally mention when they call include:

  • Shower grout that has worn away
  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

For landlords with property near Dunlop station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is chosen
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • What preparation is included
  • What the cure time is

Choosing a sealant specialist

Regrouting around Burnhouse

In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable 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.

Schools such as Clandeboye School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in Burnhouse

Is Burnhouse in your area for regrouting?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Burnhouse is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunlop station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Do you guarantee regrouting?

Our one-year guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

What the job involves on each surface

Shower walls

Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.

Bathroom wall tiles

Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
