When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
How we handle regrouting in Muirhouses
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Muirhouses and across Falkirk.

What happens on the day
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. Outdoor work around Muirhouses depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Muirhouses
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you let a flat or house near Linlithgow station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Other services in Muirhouses
Muirhouses: your questions answered
Do you cover Muirhouses for regrouting?
Yes, Muirhouses is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Muirhouses within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can I do 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Muirhouses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Why act early in Muirhouses
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. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around Muirhouses, 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.
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.

Regrouting around Muirhouses
Muirhouses is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Homes close to church and burial ground 20m SW of Carriden House include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bo'ness Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
