What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Regrouting in Ruthvenfield, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
For a place like Ruthvenfield, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ruthvenfield
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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 does not dry out.
If you let a flat or house near Perth station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St Serf's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we’re called out for in Ruthvenfield
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you look after a building such as Bertha Park High School, 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.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. Outdoor work around Ruthvenfield depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
