How we handle regrouting in Glengolly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and tiled floors, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
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 that we can handle for you.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

What regrouting looks like in Glengolly
Glengolly 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Rented homes near Thurso station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Glengolly is about 2 miles south-west of Thurso, in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Glengolly or further out, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, large and small.

Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you look after a building such as Thurso High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Glengolly: your questions answered
Will you come out to Glengolly?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Glengolly for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Glengolly is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
