Regrouting in Milton of Buchanan
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the shower grout has gone and crumbling grout between the tiles, on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms.
In and around a place like Milton of Buchanan, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Your questions about regrouting in Milton of Buchanan
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Milton of Buchanan?
All our work, in Milton of Buchanan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Milton of Buchanan in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Milton of Buchanan is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outdoor work around Milton of Buchanan 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Regrouting in Milton of Buchanan: local notes
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 doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.

Signs you need regrouting in Milton of Buchanan
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Look out for any of the following:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you live in an older home near Buchanan Parish Church and Churchyard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
