How we handle regrouting in Elie
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
A bathroom in a place like Elie gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Do you need regrouting in Elie?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout washed out of a shower
In the older streets around Elie Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Elie
Is Elie within the area you cover?
Yes. Elie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Elie in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Elie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Elie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
