How we handle regrouting in Garmond
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
For a place like Garmond, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garmond
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Common questions in Garmond
Can you do regrouting in Garmond?
Yes, Garmond is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Garmond?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

About regrouting
When to call us in Garmond
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For an older house near a landmark such as Monquhitter Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What regrouting looks like in Garmond
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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Garmond, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
