- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Regrouting in New Lanark, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that won’t come clean.
In and around a place like New Lanark, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Lanark as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
When to call us in New Lanark
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in New Lanark need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

FAQs for New Lanark
Is New Lanark within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Lanark station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
New Lanark homes and their sealant
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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Letting a property close to Lanark station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Homes close to New Lanark Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around New Lanark, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
