Regrouting in Lochmaben, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout washed out of a shower and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Lochmaben 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochmaben
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. 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 does not dry out.
In and around Lochmaben, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you let a flat or house near Lockerbie station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions from Lochmaben
Do you cover smaller places like Lochmaben?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Lockerbie station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochmaben
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Lochmaben, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Around Lochmaben, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
