Regrouting in Grantshouse
Regrouting across Grantshouse and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Regrouting in Grantshouse
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even 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 work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Grantshouse work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Grantshouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Grantshouse questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Grantshouse within the area you cover?
Yes, Grantshouse is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
How much does regrouting cost in Grantshouse?
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.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outdoor work around Grantshouse depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common problems we fix in Grantshouse
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
For landlords with property near Reston station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

All about regrouting
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
What regrouting looks like in Grantshouse
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. 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.
In the older streets around Grantshouse Church (Church Of Scotland), bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
