Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle regrouting in Dingwall
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We’re often asked to deal with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Dingwall 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about regrouting in Dingwall
Is Dingwall within the area you cover?
Yes. Dingwall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Dingwall station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Dingwall?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Dingwall depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting in Dingwall: local notes
Dingwall is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you let a flat or house near Dingwall station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Dingwall Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Dingwall is about 12 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Dingwall to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. Dingwall is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.

Signs you need regrouting in Dingwall
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
In the older streets around St Lawrence's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
