Regrouting for homes and businesses in Strathore
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Strathore work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strathore as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

Strathore questions
Can you do regrouting in Strathore?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Strathore is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Strathore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need regrouting in Strathore
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For landlords with property near Glenrothes with Thornton station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Before booking anyone

- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Bathrooms and kitchens in Strathore
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Schools such as Kirkcaldy High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
