About our regrouting in Charleston
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about grout that makes sound tiles look old and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Charleston as anywhere in the city.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Charleston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Your questions about regrouting in Charleston
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Charleston leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you take on hotel work around Charleston?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Charleston?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
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 know where you stand.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. For landlords in Charleston, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Regrouting in Charleston: local notes
Charleston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you live in an older home near Lochee Baptist Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
