Regrouting for homes and businesses in Farr
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
In and around a place like Farr, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Farr, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
When to call us in Farr
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
The most common problems we see are:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Around Farr, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Your questions about regrouting in Farr
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Farr?
All our work, in Farr and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Farr?
Yes, Farr is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Farr
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. 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.
For jobs in and around Farr, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
