Landlord and commercial work in Davidston
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Davidston and across Highland. Several sites can go on one quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Regrouting in Davidston, done properly
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about cracked or crumbling grout lines and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in Davidston
Do you cover smaller places like Davidston?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergordon station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Davidston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Davidston
Regrouting around Davidston
Davidston 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For landlords with property near Invergordon station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
