Regrouting in Caddonfoot, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
For a place like Caddonfoot, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting around Caddonfoot
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Letting a property close to Galashiels station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Caddonfoot: your questions answered
I let a flat near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Caddonfoot?
Yes, Caddonfoot is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t 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.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Landlord and commercial work in Caddonfoot
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Caddonfoot
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Around Caddonfoot, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
