Regrouting in Hawick, Scottish Borders
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Hawick and across the Scottish Borders. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Regrouting in Hawick, done properly
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you have kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help.
With generally soft Scottish Water supplies, limescale is less of an issue in Hawick than in hard-water areas. But mould still finds its way into sealant and grout wherever a room stays damp.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Hawick questions
Is Hawick in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hawick is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Hawick?
Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where. We will give you a clear price, with a fixed price before any work starts.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
When to call us in Hawick
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Look out for these signs:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Managing a site like Hawick High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Regrouting in Hawick: local notes
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. 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.
Around Hawick, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Hawick is in the Scottish Borders. We provide regrouting to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hawick and the surrounding area, as part of our work across the Scottish Borders. Across the Scottish Borders, we cover 89 places, Hawick among them. We also work in Edinburgh, around 39 miles away.
All of TD9 is within our area for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as High Street, Drumlanrig Square and Teviot Crescent, and we cover them all. Being close to the A7 and A698, Hawick is easy for our applicators to reach. We also cover Wilton (1 mile west), Stirches (1 mile north-west), Wilton Dean (1 mile west), Burnfoot (1 mile north-east) and Newmill (4 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Galashiels (13 miles north), Selkirk (9 miles north), Jedburgh (10 miles east), Melrose (12 miles north), Earlston (15 miles north) and Langlee (13 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Scottish Borders, Hawick has homes, rented property and businesses of every kind.
Around Hawick
In Hawick, that means homes and buildings near The Bourtree pub, among other places. A little further out are Borders Textile Towerhouse (less than half a mile south) and Hawick Community Hospital (less than half a mile west). For a walk, there’s Ashkirk Hill and Williestruther Loch.
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Hawick, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
If you manage several properties in or around Hawick, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a Scottish town like Hawick, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
