About our regrouting in Canisbay
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
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.
FAQs for Canisbay
Do you cover Canisbay for regrouting?
Yes, Canisbay is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Canisbay?
All our work, in Canisbay and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
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.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How we quote for regrouting
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What else we do in Canisbay
Bathrooms and kitchens in Canisbay
Canisbay is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Homes close to Canisbay Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Canisbay is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. We carry out regrouting for householders, landlords and businesses in Canisbay, as part of our work across Highland. Canisbay is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work for regrouting.

Within a short drive, we also cover Thurso (15 miles west), Wick (13 miles south) and Castletown (10 miles west). If you’re somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Signs you need regrouting in Canisbay
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Around Canisbay, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Canisbay depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
