Why it’s worth doing now in Thornhill
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Thornhill
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
For a place like Thornhill, 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. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Common questions in Thornhill
Do you cover Thornhill for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Thornhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Thornhill?
All our work, in Thornhill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Which products 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 explain our choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
What regrouting looks like in Thornhill
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. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Thornhill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Thornhill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
What we are called out for in Thornhill
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
In and around Thornhill, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
