Regrouting in Largoward
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Largoward work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Largoward and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Common problems we fix in Largoward
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Around Largoward, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Largoward questions
Do you cover Largoward for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Largoward is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Largoward within the area you cover?
Yes. Largoward is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Largoward.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
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.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will confirm how long when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
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.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Largoward may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Regrouting around Largoward
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
In the older streets around Largoward Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
