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 can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. If you live in a flat in Johnstone, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that is much harder to put right.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
About our regrouting in Johnstone
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a 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 are often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and shower grout that has worn away, across wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors.
In a town like Johnstone, stone-built older streets generally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates. Bathrooms and kitchens across all of them need their sealant and grout renewing from time to time.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need regrouting in Johnstone
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Episcopal Chruch, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?

What else we do in Johnstone
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Johnstone
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Johnstone. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Linwood High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Johnstone station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
