Regrouting in Carrington, Midlothian
Tiled areas in Carrington need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Carrington
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about a grout colour that no longer suits the room and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
For a place like Carrington, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need regrouting in Carrington?
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you live in an older home near Carrington Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement

What regrouting looks like in Carrington
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. 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.
Rented homes near Gorebridge station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Outside jobs in Carrington need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Carrington, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
