About our regrouting in Calderwood
Across Calderwood, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you are dealing with grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Calderwood
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady's High 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.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Calderwood
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Calderwood, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Calderwood
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Calderwood?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kirknewton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
