Regrouting in Symington
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you are dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help, on shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. 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. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Common questions in Symington
Will you come out to Symington?

Can you do regrouting in Symington?
Yes, Symington is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What sealant do you use?
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’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Symington
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
For landlords with property near Prestwick International Airport station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Symington homes and their sealant
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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to Symington Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
