About our regrouting in Altnaharra
Across Altnaharra, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with old grout in a dated colour and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
In and around a place like Altnaharra, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.

Altnaharra questions
Is regrouting in Altnaharra 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 Altnaharra?
Yes, Altnaharra is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
When to call us in Altnaharra
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Around Altnaharra, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Altnaharra may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice

What regrouting looks like in Altnaharra
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Whether the job is in Altnaharra itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
