About our regrouting in Gordon
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, and the corners get fresh silicone. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and floor grout that won’t come clean, across kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Gordon work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Gordon can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Gordon, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
Signs you need regrouting in Gordon
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Homes close to East Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What regrouting looks like in Gordon
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. 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.
