Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
How we handle regrouting in Lochgelly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Lochgelly are handled the same careful way. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right.
For a place like Lochgelly, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas 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.
Common questions in Lochgelly
Is Lochgelly within the area you cover?
Yes. Lochgelly is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lochgelly station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a place like Lochgelly, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What regrouting looks like in Lochgelly
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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 Lochgelly station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Somewhere like Lochgelly may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Do you need regrouting in Lochgelly?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Managing a site like Lochgelly High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
