How we handle regrouting in Aultbea
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you are dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can help, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Aultbea work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Aultbea questions
Will you come out to Aultbea?
Yes. Aultbea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is regrouting in Aultbea guaranteed?
All our work, in Aultbea and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Aultbea?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Aultbea
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Around Aultbea, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking

Regrouting around Aultbea
Aultbea is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For an older house near a landmark such as Aultbea Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Aultbea is in Highland. Jobs in Aultbea get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, and Aultbea is one of them.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outside jobs in Aultbea need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
