Finstown questions
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Finstown?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do regrouting in Finstown?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Finstown is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Finstown?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How we handle regrouting in Finstown
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 discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and crumbling grout between the tiles, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Finstown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Regrouting in Finstown: local notes
Finstown 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Finstown, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Finstown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Finstown is about 6 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Wherever you are in the KW17 postcode area, our applicators can take on regrouting. We cover 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
We cover every part of KW17 for regrouting. We cover properties on Grimond Square, Fletts Corner and Seafield and the roads around them. You will find Finstown on the A965, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for regrouting. Close by, we work in Heddle (1 mile south-west), Grimbister (1 mile south-east), Germiston (2 miles south-west), Bimbister (3 miles north-west) and Grimeston (3 miles west). Finstown is one of the larger places we cover in the Orkney Islands. If you are somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.
What’s near Finstown
Well-known places in the area include Balfour Hospital (5.7 miles east). The countryside around Finstown includes Loch of Wasdale and Hill of Heddle.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Landlords and agents in Finstown can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
