How we handle regrouting in Mid Calder
Across Mid Calder, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Mid Calder 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mid Calder
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In an older home around Mid Calder, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. Around Mid Calder, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Regrouting around Mid Calder
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Mid Calder has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Livingston South station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Mid Calder Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Mid Calder: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Mid Calder?
Yes, Mid Calder is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Mid Calder?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What we’re called out for in Mid Calder
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout washed out of a shower
Managing a site like Inveralmond Community High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
