About our regrouting in High Ruchill
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
High Ruchill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Landlord and commercial work in High Ruchill
For anyone letting property in or around High Ruchill, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
Why act early in High Ruchill
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in High Ruchill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews

Other services in High Ruchill
Do you need regrouting in High Ruchill?

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a city area like High Ruchill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Advice
Regrouting around High Ruchill
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
Homes close to Ruchill Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Gilshochill station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions from High Ruchill
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in High Ruchill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in High Ruchill 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.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
