Regrouting in Kelton Hill

Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and good tiles let down by tired grout, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.

Bathrooms in smaller places like Kelton Hill work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Kelton Hill

Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned

If you live in an older home near Parish Church and Burial-Ground, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not

Our hiring checklist

How we quote for regrouting

There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Access and height
  • The type of sealant required
  • The number and length of the joints

Every job is a little different, 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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Where the property is

If you are in Kelton Hill and need regrouting, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Surface by surface

Bathroom wall tiles

Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

Kitchen splashbacks

We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kelton Hill

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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

Around Kelton Hill, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Kelton Hill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
