Regrouting in Morebattle, done properly
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you are dealing with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Why deal with it now?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Morebattle, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What else we do in Morebattle
What regrouting looks like in Morebattle
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Lawrence, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. In and around Morebattle, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Morebattle questions
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Morebattle?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Morebattle?
Yes. Morebattle is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Morebattle need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
