Regrouting in Exnaboe, Shetland Islands

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Exnaboe
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
A bathroom in a place like Exnaboe gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Exnaboe 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.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Exnaboe 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.

Around Exnaboe, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Exnaboe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
