Regrouting in Broughtown, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We’re often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and shower grout that has worn away, across tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors.
A bathroom in a place like Broughtown gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How much does regrouting cost in Broughtown?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
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 email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
What we’re called out for in Broughtown
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Around Broughtown, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around Broughtown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Regrouting in Broughtown: local notes
Broughtown is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For jobs in and around Broughtown, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
