Regrouting in Boat of Garten
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout that makes sound tiles look old and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
In and around a place like Boat of Garten, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a place like Boat of Garten, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Common problems we fix in Boat of Garten
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
Around Boat of Garten, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Boat of Garten
Can you do regrouting in Boat of Garten?

Do you work for landlords with property near Carrbridge station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Regrouting in Boat of Garten: local notes
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
