When to call us in Innerwick

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Shower grout that has worn away
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened

Letting a property close to Dunbar station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Regrouting in Innerwick

Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that won’t come clean, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.

A bathroom in a place like Innerwick gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What sealant work cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving

If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Innerwick

Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In an older home around Innerwick, 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 the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Regrouting in Innerwick: local notes

Innerwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.

Homes close to Innerwick Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the visit works

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, 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. Outside jobs in Innerwick need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Do you work for landlords with property near Dunbar station?

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout

Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
