Common problems we fix in Dolphinton
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Look out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Around Dolphinton, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Dolphinton
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 can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Dolphinton, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What regrouting looks like in Dolphinton
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In the older streets around Dolphinton Parish Church And Churchyard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
