How we handle regrouting in Thorntonhall
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. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls.
In and around a place like Thorntonhall, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Thorntonhall
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Thorntonhall, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Regrouting around Thorntonhall
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
If you let a flat or house near Thorntonhall station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, 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.
