Regrouting in Shettleston
Across Shettleston, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We are often asked to deal with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Common problems we fix in Shettleston
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Rented homes near Carntyne station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shettleston
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Schools such as Eastbank Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Your questions about regrouting in Shettleston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Carntyne station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Shettleston in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Shettleston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Shettleston, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In a city area like Shettleston, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.

Before we arrive

- Move anything stored near the joints

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
