How we handle regrouting in Craigo
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and shower grout that has worn away.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Craigo 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Common problems we fix in Craigo
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
In the older streets around Aberluthnott Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Craigo depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Craigo
Regrouting in Craigo: local notes
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Montrose station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
