How we handle regrouting in Laurieston
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Laurieston, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Laurieston 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.

Common problems we fix in Laurieston
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Around Laurieston, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Laurieston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Laurieston: your questions answered
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Laurieston leak into the flat below?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Laurieston?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do you come to Laurieston?
Yes, we do. Laurieston is part of the area we cover.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
