Regrouting for homes and businesses in Silverburn
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for greasy, stained grout behind the hob and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
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.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Silverburn
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Regrouting around Silverburn
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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Penicuik 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. Around Silverburn, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In an older home around Silverburn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Silverburn
Do you cover Silverburn for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Silverburn is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Silverburn?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
