Regrouting in Skirling
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
A bathroom in a place like Skirling gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Skirling, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

FAQs for Skirling
Is Skirling within the area you cover?
Yes, Skirling is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Skirling?
All our work, in Skirling and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What regrouting looks like in Skirling
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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
For jobs in and around Skirling, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Skirling, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
