Regrouting in Polton

What the job involves on each surface

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.

Shower walls

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.

For landlords and businesses

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

Regrouting in Polton: local notes

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. 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.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lasswade High School Centre, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around St Leaonard's Episcopal Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Landmarks near Polton

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Public Library. Polton’s nearest station is Eskbank station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Hawthornden Castle (0.5 miles south-west) and Midlothian Community Hospital (1.9 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Woodhouselee Hill and Edgelaw Reservoir.

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Polton

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a place like Polton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
