About our regrouting in Bowmore
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 wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or crumbling grout lines and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
In and around a place like Bowmore, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Bowmore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What else we do in Bowmore
Regrouting in Bowmore: local notes
Bowmore is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 Bowmore, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What affects the quote in Bowmore
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about regrouting in Bowmore
Is regrouting in Bowmore guaranteed?
All our work, in Bowmore and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Bowmore within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Common problems we fix in Bowmore
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Around Bowmore, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
