Regrouting in Penilee
We cover Penilee for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. In a city area like Penilee, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Penilee
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and good tiles let down by tired grout, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Penilee: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hillington West station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Penilee leak into the flat below?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you cover Penilee?
We do. Our applicators work in Penilee.
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we are called out for in Penilee
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
Rented homes near Hillington West station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Penilee
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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.
If you look after a building such as Rosshall Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
