Regrouting for homes and businesses in Clovenfords
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and shower grout that has worn away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city doesn’t 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Clovenfords and across the Scottish Borders.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It usually fails first.

Questions from Clovenfords
Is Clovenfords in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Clovenfords is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Galashiels station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Clovenfords, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Clovenfords homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Advice
Signs you need regrouting in Clovenfords
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
