Regrouting for homes and businesses in St Boswells
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. 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 corners filled with grout instead of silicone and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bathrooms and kitchens in St Boswells
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.
In and around St Boswells, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from St Boswells
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in St Boswells?
All our work, in St Boswells and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is St Boswells within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in St Boswells
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you live in an older home near St Boswells Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in St Boswells
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. 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.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
