Regrouting in Eddleston, done properly
Across Eddleston, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for splashback grout that has darkened and grout washed out of a shower, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In and around a place like Eddleston, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Eddleston and across the Scottish Borders.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eddleston
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Eddleston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Eddleston
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In the older streets around Eddleston Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Your questions about regrouting in Eddleston
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Eddleston?

Will you come out to Eddleston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.

Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How much does regrouting cost in Eddleston?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.

Regrouting around Eddleston
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 Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
