About our regrouting in Govan
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We’re often asked to deal with grout washed out of a shower and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Govan, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Govan as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Govan, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common problems we fix in Govan
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Rented homes near Partick station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Govan
Govan has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Govan
Your questions about regrouting in Govan
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Govan leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you take on hotel work around Govan?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What does regrouting cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
