Regrouting in Ardtun
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you’re dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout washed out of a shower, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

FAQs for Ardtun
Can you do regrouting in Ardtun?
Yes, Ardtun is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is regrouting in Ardtun guaranteed?
All our work, in Ardtun and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ardtun
Ardtun is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Ardtun, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Ardtun can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common problems we fix in Ardtun
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
If you live in an older home near Kilvickeon Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Ardtun 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.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
