Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Regrouting in Loanhead
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Loanhead
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Rented homes near Eskbank station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split

Common questions in Loanhead
Is Loanhead in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Loanhead is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Loanhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Loanhead is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What regrouting looks like in Loanhead
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
If you look after a building such as Lasswade High School Centre, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What else we do in Loanhead
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Outside jobs in Loanhead need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
