Regrouting for homes and businesses in East Kilbride
We work across East Kilbride, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
With generally soft Scottish Water supplies, limescale is less of an issue in East Kilbride than in hard-water areas. Mould is a different story: a steamy bathroom still turns sealant and grout black.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in East Kilbride
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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Rented homes near East Kilbride station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Kilbride
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like East Kilbride, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Indoors, failed sealant lets water into floors and ceilings.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Do you need regrouting in East Kilbride?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you look after a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. A visit in East Kilbride needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Common questions in East Kilbride
Do you cover East Kilbride for regrouting?
Yes, East Kilbride is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near East Kilbride station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
