Regrouting in An t-Ollach
We cover An t-Ollach for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outside jobs in An t-Ollach 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 is not affected.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

About our regrouting in An t-Ollach
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We are often asked to deal with cracked grout along the bath or tray and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for An t-Ollach
Is An t-Ollach within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is An t-Ollach in your area for regrouting?
Yes, An t-Ollach is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is the work guaranteed?

Regrouting around An t-Ollach
An t-Ollach is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Whether the job is in An t-Ollach itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Why act early in An t-Ollach
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Signs you need regrouting in An t-Ollach
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
In and around An t-Ollach, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
