How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Longcroft depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Longcroft
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that won’t come clean, across bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Longcroft
When to call us in Longcroft
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Denny High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Longcroft
Can you do regrouting in Longcroft?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Longcroft is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Cumbernauld station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Longcroft can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Regrouting around Longcroft
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Letting a property close to Cumbernauld station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Haggs Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

We quote each job on its own. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
