Regrouting for homes and businesses in Boddam
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that has worn and darkened and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
In and around a place like Boddam, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Boddam
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Boddam 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 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Boddam questions
Do you cover smaller places like Boddam?
Yes. Boddam is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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 Boddam guaranteed?
All our work, in Boddam and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Boddam?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What we are called out for in Boddam
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
In and around Boddam, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting around Boddam
Boddam 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
If you live in an older home near Dunrossness Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Boddam, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
