Common questions in Gillock
Do you cover smaller places like Gillock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Georgemas Junction station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Regrouting in Gillock
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
For a place like Gillock, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gillock
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Gillock, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Do you need regrouting in Gillock?
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Letting a property close to Georgemas Junction station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Regrouting around Gillock
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Around Gillock, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Gillock is about 9 miles south-east of Thurso, in Highland. Gillock gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Gillock is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.
Here we cover the KW1 postcode area for regrouting. Gillock is on the B874, so it’s easy for us to get to. Nearby, we also carry out regrouting in Bower (3 miles north-east), Hastigrow (3 miles east), Watten (3 miles south-east), Halkirk (5 miles west) and Castletown (6 miles north). If you’re somewhere remote, the job takes a little more planning.
What’s near Gillock
The closest station to Gillock is Georgemas Junction station, roughly 3.8 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Braal Castle (5 miles west). Not far away are Loch Scarmclate.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outside jobs in Gillock need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
