Regrouting in Kingston, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

FAQs for Kingston
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston?
Yes, Kingston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Kingston in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Kingston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kingston
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Kingston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Regrouting around Kingston
Kingston is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Schools such as North Berwick High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Kingston is about 6 miles north of Haddington, in East Lothian. Kingston gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Kingston

Do you need regrouting in Kingston?
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you let a flat or house near North Berwick station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
