What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

About our regrouting in Kelvinhaugh
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and grout washed out of a shower.
Kelvinhaugh is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Kelvinhaugh questions
Could a leaking bath seal in my Kelvinhaugh flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Kelvinhaugh?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
What regrouting looks like in Kelvinhaugh
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, where most bathrooms sit above another flat. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Church Street Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Exhibition Centre station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the amount of work. For a tenement in Kelvinhaugh, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
