- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Garrabost, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with cracked grout along the bath or tray and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors alike.
For a place like Garrabost, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Garrabost
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for regrouting in Garrabost
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Your questions about regrouting in Garrabost
Is Garrabost within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is regrouting in Garrabost guaranteed?
All our work, in Garrabost and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Garrabost
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls

- Tiled floors
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In a place like Garrabost, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What regrouting looks like in Garrabost
Garrabost is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Around Garrabost, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. Outside jobs in Garrabost need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
