Regrouting for homes and businesses in Stirches
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. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

About regrouting
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outside jobs in Stirches need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Questions from Stirches
Can you do regrouting in Stirches?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Stirches is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is regrouting in Stirches guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Stirches.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Signs you need regrouting in Stirches
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Schools such as Hawick High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What the job involves on each 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.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
If you’re in Stirches and need regrouting, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What regrouting looks like in Stirches
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wilton Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
