Gattonside questions
Is Gattonside within the area you cover?
Yes, Gattonside is covered. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tweedbank station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Regrouting in Gattonside, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the shower grout has gone and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
For a place like Gattonside, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Gattonside
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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Tweedbank station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. 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 Gattonside
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Gattonside, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Around Gattonside, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

About regrouting
Do you need regrouting in Gattonside?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
In and around Gattonside, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
