Regrouting in Earnock, done properly
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 work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Earnock and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Earnock, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Earnock: your questions answered
I let a flat near Chatelherault station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Earnock?
Yes, Earnock is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
How much does regrouting cost in Earnock?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What we are called out for in Earnock
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
If you live in an older home near Hamilton South Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Regrouting around Earnock
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Rented homes near Chatelherault station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Schools such as Hamilton Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
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.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Earnock may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

Preparing for the visit

Advice
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
