Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Your questions about regrouting in St Abbs
Do you work for landlords with property near Reston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover St Abbs for regrouting?

Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower normally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Bathrooms and kitchens in St Abbs
St Abbs is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Abbs Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Reston station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in St Abbs need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- 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 about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
