About our regrouting in Romannobridge
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Common problems we fix in Romannobridge
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
In and around Romannobridge, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.

Regrouting around Romannobridge
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For jobs in and around Romannobridge, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Romannobridge questions
Do you cover Romannobridge for regrouting?
Yes, Romannobridge is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Romannobridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Romannobridge may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
