Regrouting in Wilton, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have shower grout that has worn away and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Wilton, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outside jobs in Wilton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Wilton questions
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Wilton?
All our work, in Wilton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Wilton?
Yes. Wilton 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 work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out before any grout comes out.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Wilton
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Managing a site like Hawick High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What regrouting looks like in Wilton
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 doesn’t dry out. 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.
Homes close to Wilton Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
