Regrouting for homes and businesses in Forehill
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and old grout in a dated colour, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Forehill work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Forehill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ayr station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Forehill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Forehill and the rest of South Ayrshire.
Common problems we fix in Forehill
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you live in an older home near Castlehill Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Forehill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
