How we handle regrouting in Macmerry
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
In and around a place like Macmerry, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Macmerry
Macmerry is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ross High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
What affects the quote in Macmerry
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Signs you need regrouting in Macmerry
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Letting a property close to Longniddry station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Macmerry questions
Can you do regrouting in Macmerry?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Macmerry is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Longniddry station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
