Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. 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.

Regrouting in Gairloch
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include grout in a colour the owner wants to change and splashback grout that has darkened, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Gairloch work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

Gairloch questions
Is Gairloch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do regrouting in Gairloch?
Yes, Gairloch is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
For landlords and businesses
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 that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Gairloch, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
What else we do in Gairloch
Gairloch homes and their sealant
Gairloch is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In and around Gairloch, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Cracked or broken tiles
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in Gairloch
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Managing a site like Gairloch High School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
