Why act early in Mochrum
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Mochrum, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us

How we handle regrouting in Mochrum
We work across Mochrum, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that won’t come clean.
In and around a place like Mochrum, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mochrum as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
What affects the quote in Mochrum
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Do you need regrouting in Mochrum?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Homes close to Kirk of Mochrum include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Regrouting around Mochrum
Mochrum is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Around Mochrum, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Mochrum: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Mochrum?
Yes. Mochrum is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Mochrum?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
