Common questions in St Katherines
Is St Katherines in your area for regrouting?
Yes, St Katherines is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to St Katherines?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in St Katherines
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and crumbling grout between the tiles.
For a place like St Katherines, the job is the same as anywhere: 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Katherines
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In an older home around St Katherines, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
St Katherines homes and their sealant
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.
In and around St Katherines, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around St Katherines, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
