Questions from Cowlairs
I let a flat near Ashfield station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in Cowlairs. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
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, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you cover Cowlairs?
Yes. We work in Cowlairs and the rest of Glasgow, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
About our regrouting in Cowlairs
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Cowlairs is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
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.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
For regrouting in Cowlairs, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
