Regrouting in Fankerton
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour.
For a place like Fankerton, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Why act early in Fankerton
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Fankerton homes and their sealant
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
If you look after a building such as Denny High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Larbert station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common questions in Fankerton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Larbert station?
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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Fankerton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Fankerton need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
