Regrouting for homes and businesses in Galashiels
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include splashback grout that has darkened and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Scottish water is generally soft, so homes in a town like Galashiels see less limescale than many parts of England. But mould still finds its way into sealant and grout wherever a room stays damp.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Why act early in Galashiels
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. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Galashiels, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. A visit in Galashiels 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.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about regrouting in Galashiels
Do you work for landlords with property near Galashiels station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Galashiels in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Galashiels is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Regrouting around Galashiels
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Managing a site like Galashiels Academy? Then 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. Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

All about regrouting
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
