Regrouting in Peel
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. If you are dealing with shower grout that has worn away and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Regrouting around Peel
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. 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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Peel, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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. Everything old must be removed first.

Do you need regrouting in Peel?
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Peel, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Peel.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Why act early in Peel
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
