Black Crofts: your questions answered
I let a flat near Connel Ferry station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Black Crofts within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Black Crofts?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Black Crofts homes and their sealant
Black Crofts is within about 1 mile of 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Letting a property close to Connel Ferry station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Quotes for regrouting in Black Crofts
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Black Crofts and across Argyll and Bute. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When to call us in Black Crofts
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For an older house near a landmark such as Ardchattan Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Around Black Crofts, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
