Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

- Full insurance on every job

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Embo
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout washed out of a shower and grout in corners that has cracked.
For a place like Embo, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a place like Embo, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Quotes for regrouting in Embo
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in Embo
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you let a flat or house near Golspie station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Embo homes and their sealant
Embo is within about 1 mile of 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. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you look after a building such as Dornoch Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Embo is about 23 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. We provide regrouting to homes and businesses in Embo. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, and Embo is one of them.

Questions from Embo
I let a flat near Golspie station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Embo within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Cracked or broken tiles
