Regrouting in Kilmaurs, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout in corners that has cracked, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
In and around a place like Kilmaurs, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

Landlord and commercial work in Kilmaurs
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Kilmaurs
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Shower grout that has worn away
Letting a property close to Kilmaurs station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. Around Kilmaurs, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.

Kilmaurs homes and their sealant
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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 does not dry out.
Schools such as Grange Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

FAQs for Kilmaurs
Do you cover Kilmaurs for regrouting?
Yes, Kilmaurs is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kilmaurs?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
