Regrouting for homes and businesses in Earlsferry
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout washed out of a shower.
In and around a place like Earlsferry, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outside jobs in Earlsferry need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Do you need regrouting in Earlsferry?
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you live in an older home near St Michael And All Angels Episcopal Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Why act early in Earlsferry
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout doesn’t 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.

What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Earlsferry?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
