Regrouting in Colbost
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Colbost are handled the same careful way. Common call-outs are for cracked grout along the bath or tray and shower grout that has worn away, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Colbost work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Colbost may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Colbost
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
Around Colbost, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Regrouting around Colbost
Colbost 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Colbost itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
