What regrouting looks like in Toryglen
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. Sandstone tenements are a big part of Glasgow’s housing, so many bathrooms sit right above a neighbour’s ceiling.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyrood Secondary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Toryglen: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Toryglen?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Kings Park station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you come to Toryglen?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Toryglen included.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Toryglen
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Letting a property close to Kings Park station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep the fan on after showering
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Cracked or broken tiles
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

- Kitchen splashbacks

What affects the cost of regrouting
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
