Smithstone Regrouting
Tiled areas in Smithstone need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Smithstone
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you’re dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can put it right.
A bathroom in a place like Smithstone 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Smithstone
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Rented homes near Croy station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Smithstone questions
Do you cover Smithstone for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Smithstone is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Smithstone?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does regrouting cost in Smithstone?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Smithstone and the rest of North Lanarkshire, along with the rest of our area.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Smithstone depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Smithstone homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. 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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's High, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Helping us quote

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
