About our regrouting in Old Philpstoun
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have old grout in a dated colour and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can help, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Old Philpstoun work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Old Philpstoun and across West Lothian. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Old Philpstoun need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What we’re called out for in Old Philpstoun
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
In the older streets around Pardovan Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.

Old Philpstoun questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Linlithgow station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, 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.
Do you cover Old Philpstoun for regrouting?
Yes, Old Philpstoun is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Regrouting in Old Philpstoun: local notes
Old Philpstoun is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
If you look after a building such as Winchburgh Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Linlithgow station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What’s near Old Philpstoun

Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Old Philpstoun, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
