Regrouting for homes and businesses in Old Craighall
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We are often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout that makes sound tiles look old, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

FAQs for Old Craighall
Do you cover Old Craighall for regrouting?
Yes, Old Craighall is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Old Craighall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Craighall
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What regrouting looks like in Old Craighall
Old Craighall is within about 2 miles 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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.

- Shower grout that has worn away
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Schools such as Loretto School are buildings too, and 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.
