Regrouting in Colmonell
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and crumbling grout between the tiles, across tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors.
For a place like Colmonell, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Colmonell as everywhere else we work.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. For a place like Colmonell, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Colmonell
Is Colmonell in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Colmonell is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is regrouting in Colmonell guaranteed?
All our work, in Colmonell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you change the grout colour?
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.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Colmonell
Colmonell is close to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For jobs in and around Colmonell, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In an older home around Colmonell, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Do you need regrouting in Colmonell?
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
In and around Colmonell, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
