How we handle regrouting in Locharbriggs
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
In and around a place like Locharbriggs, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.

Why it’s worth doing now in Locharbriggs
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Locharbriggs, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Locharbriggs: your questions answered
I let a flat near Dumfries station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Locharbriggs for regrouting?
Yes, Locharbriggs is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that’s common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Locharbriggs homes and their sealant
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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. 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. For an older house near a landmark such as St Blane's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
