About our regrouting in Wallaceton
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We are often asked to deal with old grout in a dated colour and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
For a place like Wallaceton, 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.

When to call us in Wallaceton
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
In and around Wallaceton, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. 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.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Questions from Wallaceton
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Wallaceton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Wallaceton?
Yes. Wallaceton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Quotes for regrouting in Wallaceton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a place like Wallaceton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting in Wallaceton: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Whether the job is in Wallaceton itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
