Regrouting for homes and businesses in Pathhead
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

Common questions in Pathhead
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gorebridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Pathhead?
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.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer, and we will tell you before we start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pathhead
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Pathhead clients choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We are fully insured

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we’re called out for in Pathhead
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
For landlords with property near Gorebridge station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
Regrouting in Pathhead: local notes
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Around Pathhead, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job 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, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
