Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Regrouting in Middlebie, done properly
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for floor grout that won’t come clean and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
In and around a place like Middlebie, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need regrouting in Middlebie
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Homes close to Middlebie Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

- How we’d reach the joints

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
FAQs for Middlebie
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Middlebie?
All our work, in Middlebie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Middlebie for regrouting?
Yes, Middlebie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Middlebie.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Regrouting in Middlebie: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Around Middlebie, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
