Regrouting in Cathkin
Our applicators work in Cathkin on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Regrouting in Cathkin, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Regrouting around Cathkin
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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 does not dry out.
If you look after a building such as Fernhill 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.

Where we work in Cathkin
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Cathkin need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Cathkin can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Cathkin
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
If you let a flat or house near Burnside station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
