What affects the cost of regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Access and height

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

Regrouting in Lownie Moor

Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and splashback grout that has darkened.

A bathroom in a place like Lownie Moor gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Lownie Moor and across Angus.

Regrouting around Lownie Moor

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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

Around Lownie Moor, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?

Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a place like Lownie Moor, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Advice

Common questions in Lownie Moor

Do you cover Lownie Moor for regrouting?

Yes, Lownie Moor is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.

Is regrouting in Lownie Moor guaranteed?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Do the sealants smell?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.

How long should I wait before showering?

It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Angus.

What we are called out for in Lownie Moor

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

For jobs in and around Lownie Moor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Choosing a sealant specialist

What the job involves on each surface

Bathroom floors

Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

Bathroom wall tiles

Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower

We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
