Regrouting in Rigside
Our applicators work in Rigside on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
Regrouting in Rigside
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right.
For a place like Rigside, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
How we quote for regrouting
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
If you’re in Rigside and need regrouting, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Regrouting around Rigside
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. 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 does not dry out.
For jobs in and around Rigside, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common problems we fix in Rigside
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Around Rigside, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Rigside may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
