How we handle regrouting in Craichie
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a 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. We’re often asked to deal with old grout in a dated colour and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
A bathroom in a place like Craichie gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Craichie 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. 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.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Craichie: your questions answered
Is Craichie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Craichie?
All our work, in Craichie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a place like Craichie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Do you need regrouting in Craichie?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunnichen Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
