Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Loaningfoot, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How we handle regrouting in Loaningfoot
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have cracked grout along the bath or tray and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Loaningfoot, homes range from older stone-built properties 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 one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
FAQs for Loaningfoot
I let a flat near Dumfries station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Loaningfoot?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Loaningfoot, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.

What affects the quote in Loaningfoot
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Do you need regrouting in Loaningfoot?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that will not come clean
If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
Regrouting around Loaningfoot
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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dumfries High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
