Regrouting for homes and businesses in Greenhills

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help.

Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower

Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

How the job changes by surface

Shower walls

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.

What happens if it’s left?

Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In an older home around Greenhills, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Why us?

  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • One-year guarantee on every job
  • An ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Over 20 years’ experience

What affects the quote in Greenhills

We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:

  • The size of the job
  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Roughly how big the job is

To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.

What regrouting looks like in Greenhills

Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.

Around Greenhills, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How the visit works

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Greenhills may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Preparing for the visit

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Do you need regrouting in Greenhills?

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

If you let a flat or house near Dunlop station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What to look for in a quote

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • How much experience the applicator has
  • Whether they’re fully insured

Your questions about regrouting in Greenhills

Is Greenhills in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Greenhills is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

Is Greenhills within the area you cover?

Yes, Greenhills is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
