Regrouting in Templand
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for householders, landlords and businesses in Templand. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Regrouting in Templand
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Signs you need regrouting in Templand
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor

Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Common questions in Templand
Can you do regrouting in Templand?
Yes, Templand 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, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Lockerbie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Templand 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
In and around Templand, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
