Regrouting in Craignure

A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout washed out of a shower, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors alike.

Bathrooms in smaller places like Craignure 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.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface

Wet rooms

Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.

Bathroom floors

Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

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. Everything old must be removed first.

Regrouting around Craignure

Craignure 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 includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

In and around Craignure, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Torosay Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craignure

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.

Leave it or put it right?

New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. 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. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the quote in Craignure

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • The product the joint needs
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How much there is to do
  • Access and height

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • The rough size of the job
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Questions from Craignure

Is Craignure in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Craignure is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Craignure?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Is there any odour?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Can tenants book the work?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

What we do, step by step

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Craignure depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
