Contin questions
Will you come out to Contin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Garve station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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’ll talk you through it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Regrouting in Contin
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and old grout in a dated colour, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Contin and everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need regrouting in Contin
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Letting a property close to Garve station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Contin homes and their sealant
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to Contin Church Of Scotland Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Contin (Gaelic: Cunndainn) is about 15 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. Anywhere in IV14, our applicators can take on regrouting. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Contin among them.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. Outdoor work around Contin 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 start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
If you’re in Contin and need regrouting, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Why act early in Contin
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Contin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
