About our regrouting in Wallyford
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout washed out of a shower and cracked or crumbling grout lines, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
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, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Wallyford
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Questions from Wallyford
Do you cover smaller places like Wallyford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wallyford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outdoor work around Wallyford depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why act early in Wallyford
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Wallyford, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
