Regrouting in North Kelvinside
Across North Kelvinside, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout washed out of a shower and grout in corners that has cracked.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. 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. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in North Kelvinside, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In North Kelvinside, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

North Kelvinside questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Possilpark & Parkhouse station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near North Kelvinside?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
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, and we’ll explain our choice.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Signs you need regrouting in North Kelvinside
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you look after a building such as College of Piping, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
