What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Regrouting in Cartland
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. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Being further from a city does not change the work: 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cartland
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Around Cartland, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Regrouting around Cartland
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar 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.

Cartland: your questions answered
Can you do regrouting in Cartland?
Yes, Cartland is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lanark station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
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.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are 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.
