Regrouting for homes and businesses in Kelvingrove
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you’re dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Kelvingrove
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Kelvingrove?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I’m in a tenement in Kelvingrove. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Kelvingrove?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Kelvingrove, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
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.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What we’re called out for in Kelvingrove
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Rented homes near Exhibition Centre station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?

Kelvingrove homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling.
If you look after a building such as Glasgow Gaelic School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Kelvingrove Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
