About our regrouting in Brough
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brough
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Brough
Brough 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. 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.
In and around Brough, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Brough may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t 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. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Brough: your questions answered
Can you do regrouting in Brough?
Yes, Brough is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Brough?
All our work, in Brough and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
What we are called out for in Brough
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
For an older house near a landmark such as Whalsay Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included

Quotes for regrouting in Brough
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep the fan on after showering
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
