Regrouting in Craigrothie, done properly
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Craigrothie homes and their sealant
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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Springfield station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Craigrothie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Craigrothie questions
Do you cover Craigrothie for regrouting?
Yes, Craigrothie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Springfield 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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
What does regrouting cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do you need regrouting in Craigrothie?
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
If you look after a building such as Bell Baxter High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
