Regrouting in Old Drumchapel, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Old Drumchapel is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Your questions about regrouting in Old Drumchapel
Could a leaking bath seal in my Old Drumchapel flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Can you do regrouting in Old Drumchapel?
Yes, Old Drumchapel is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Old Drumchapel and the rest of Glasgow.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Drumchapel
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Private landlords in Old Drumchapel must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we’re called out for in Old Drumchapel
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you look after a building such as Saint Andrew's High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Regrouting around Old Drumchapel
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Rented homes near Drumchapel station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St David's Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
