Regrouting in Crathes
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Typical jobs include a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked, across bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Crathes questions
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Crathes?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Crathes?
Yes, Crathes is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How much does regrouting cost in Crathes?
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.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.

Regrouting around Crathes
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. 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.
Around Crathes, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crathes
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Crathes, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
