About our regrouting in Keir Mill
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In and around a place like Keir Mill, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Keir Mill
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Keir Mill questions
Is Keir Mill in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Keir Mill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is regrouting in Keir Mill guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When to call us in Keir Mill
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
In the older streets around Church and Churchyard, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Regrouting in Keir Mill: local notes
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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
Managing a site like Wallace Hall Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Keir Mill 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.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Keir Mill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
