About our regrouting in Hartwood
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
For a place like Hartwood, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Hartwood 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 remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.

Hartwood homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
In and around Hartwood, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Hartwood
Will you come out to Hartwood?
Yes. Hartwood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Hartwood for regrouting?
Yes, Hartwood is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Why act early in Hartwood
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we are called out for in Hartwood
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you let a flat or house near Hartwood station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
