About our regrouting in Coaltown of Balgonie
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We’re often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and floor grout that has worn and darkened, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
In and around a place like Coaltown of Balgonie, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Coaltown of Balgonie
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Coaltown of Balgonie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting in Coaltown of Balgonie: local notes
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Auchmuty High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Markinch station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
