- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

Regrouting in Newton of Falkland
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
For a place like Newton of Falkland, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.

Newton of Falkland: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Newton of Falkland?
Yes, Newton of Falkland is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ladybank station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How much does regrouting cost in Newton of Falkland?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Newton of Falkland
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened

Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a place like Newton of Falkland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Newton of Falkland
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 doesn’t dry out. 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.
