Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Regrouting in Cowie
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout in a colour the owner wants to change and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Cowie work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we are called out for in Cowie
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Around Cowie, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What regrouting looks like in Cowie
Cowie is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Rented homes near Stirling station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Cowie: your questions answered
I let a flat near Stirling station. Can you help?
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.
Do you cover Cowie for regrouting?
Yes, Cowie is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We usually do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Outside jobs in Cowie 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 are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
