About our regrouting in Germiston
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that has worn and darkened and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Signs you need regrouting in Germiston
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Letting a property close to Barnhill station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Germiston
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
If you live in an older home near Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as St. Roch's Secondary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

I let a flat near Barnhill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking in city streets around Germiston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Quotes for regrouting in Germiston
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
