Wilton Dean: your questions answered
Is regrouting in Wilton Dean guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Wilton Dean?
Yes, Wilton Dean is covered. 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.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
About our regrouting in Wilton Dean
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and tiled floors alike.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Wilton Dean homes and their sealant
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Hawick High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Wilton Dean is about 1 mile west of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. Across the TD9 area, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Wilton Dean is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders we cover. We also work in Edinburgh, about 39 miles from Wilton Dean.
Here we cover the TD9 postcode area for regrouting. Streets in the area include Dean Road, Overhall Road and Buccleuch Road. If you are just outside Wilton Dean, we cover Wilton (1 mile east), Hawick (1 mile east), Stirches (1 mile north-east), Burnfoot (2 miles north-east) and Newmill (4 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Galashiels (13 miles north), Selkirk (9 miles north), Jedburgh (11 miles east), Melrose (12 miles north), Langlee (13 miles north) and St Boswells (12 miles north-east).
What’s near Wilton Dean
We work in homes and buildings around The Bourtree pub. A little further out are Borders Textile Towerhouse (0.7 miles east) and Branxholme Castle (2.5 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Williestruther Loch and Ashkirk Hill.
Common problems we fix in Wilton Dean
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
In the older streets around Old Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before you book anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
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.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wilton Dean
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a place like Wilton Dean, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
What affects the quote in Wilton Dean
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
