Regrouting in Forbes, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and splashback grout that has darkened, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
A bathroom in a place like Forbes gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Forbes
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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 earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Forbes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For an older house near a landmark such as Alford Parish West Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Forbes questions
Do you cover smaller places like Forbes?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Forbes?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
