Regrouting in Saline
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout that’s cracking and breaking up and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Saline, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Saline: your questions answered
Will you come out to Saline?
Yes. Saline is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Saline?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones at the start.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Saline
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
In and around Saline, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
