Regrouting in Bun Othan, Argyll and Bute
Tiled areas in Bun Othan need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Bun Othan
Across Bun Othan, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.
A bathroom in a place like Bun Othan 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bun Othan
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When to call us in Bun Othan
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near St Oran’s Chapel (Orsay), timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Bun Othan, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Bun Othan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bun Othan homes and their sealant
Bun Othan 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In and around Bun Othan, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Bun Othan
Is Bun Othan in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Bun Othan is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Bun Othan?
All our work, in Bun Othan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
