- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Craigellachie
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Craigellachie work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What else we do in Craigellachie
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Around Craigellachie, 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 start by checking the tiles for 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Craigellachie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Tidy, careful work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Your questions about regrouting in Craigellachie
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Craigellachie?
All our work, in Craigellachie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Craigellachie for regrouting?
Yes, Craigellachie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Craigellachie homes and their sealant
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Craigellachie, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Craigellachie
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to Church Of Macallan And Burial Ground With Elchies Mausoleum include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
