DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Regrouting in Leslie, done properly
We work across Leslie, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with crumbling grout between the tiles and old grout in a dated colour, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and tiled floors.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Leslie work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Leslie
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Common problems we fix in Leslie
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Homes close to Trinity Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Common questions in Leslie
Will you come out to Leslie?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Markinch station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.

Regrouting around Leslie
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. 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.
For landlords with property near Markinch station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Glenwood High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Leslie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
