What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

About our regrouting in Shotts
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Shotts are handled the same careful way. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Shotts, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are chipped or split
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Shotts homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
Rented homes near Shotts station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Around Shotts, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Shotts
I let a flat near Shotts station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Shotts?
Yes, Shotts is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
