How we handle regrouting in Thornliebank
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, across tiled floors, wet rooms and shower walls.
Thornliebank is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

When to call us in Thornliebank
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you look after a building such as Eastwood High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Inside a flat in Thornliebank, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Your questions about regrouting in Thornliebank
Do you cover Thornliebank for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Thornliebank is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitecraigs station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Regrouting around Thornliebank
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling. 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.
For landlords with property near Whitecraigs station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
