How we handle regrouting in Aywick
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and floor grout that won’t come clean.
For a place like Aywick, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Questions from Aywick
Do you cover smaller places like Aywick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is regrouting in Aywick guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
What regrouting looks like in Aywick
Aywick is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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 jobs in and around Aywick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Aywick is in the Shetland Islands. Aywick gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Aywick need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Do you need regrouting in Aywick?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
In and around Aywick, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
