Regrouting in Tweedbank
Our applicators work in Tweedbank on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Tweedbank
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We are often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about regrouting in Tweedbank
Will you come out to Tweedbank?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tweedbank station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Tweedbank
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Galashiels Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tweedbank
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Around Tweedbank, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you let a flat or house near Tweedbank station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
