About our regrouting in Arrochar
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We’re often asked to deal with floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
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 generally the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arrochar as everywhere else we work.

Arrochar questions
I let a flat near Arrochar & Tarbet station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Arrochar?
Yes, Arrochar is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In an older home around Arrochar, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely

Arrochar homes and their sealant
Arrochar is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you live in an older home near Arrochar Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Arrochar & Tarbet station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Arrochar (Gaelic: An t-Àrchar) is about 13 miles north of Helensburgh, in West Dunbartonshire.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
