Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wilkieston
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Wilkieston work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Wilkieston homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
In and around Wilkieston, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Letting a property close to Kirknewton station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Questions from Wilkieston
I let a flat near Kirknewton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Wilkieston in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Wilkieston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wilkieston and the rest of West Lothian.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a place like Wilkieston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
