The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Somewhere like Kirknewton may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Regrouting in Kirknewton, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and splashback grout that has darkened, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
For a place like Kirknewton, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.

What regrouting looks like in Kirknewton
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Kirknewton station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

FAQs for Kirknewton
I let a flat near Kirknewton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Kirknewton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I wait before showering?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Common problems we fix in Kirknewton
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Homes close to Kirknewton Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
