Regrouting for homes and businesses in Muirkirk
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Muirkirk, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Muirkirk depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Muirkirk
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For an older house near a landmark such as Muirkirk Old Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What regrouting looks like in Muirkirk
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.

Your questions about regrouting in Muirkirk
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Muirkirk?
All our work, in Muirkirk and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Muirkirk?
Yes, Muirkirk is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How much does regrouting cost in Muirkirk?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
