About our regrouting in Ravenstruther
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across tiled floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ravenstruther 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Common problems we fix in Ravenstruther
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Letting a property close to Carstairs station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

All about regrouting
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Ravenstruther questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ravenstruther?
Yes. Ravenstruther is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Ravenstruther, along with the rest of our area.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
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.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Ravenstruther homes and their sealant
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
