Specialist regrouting for Gorthleck: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Regrouting in Gorthleck
We work across Gorthleck, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help.
In and around a place like Gorthleck, homes range from older stone-built properties 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, wherever you are in Highland.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Gorthleck
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Gorthleck?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Gorthleck for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Gorthleck is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Before we arrive

What regrouting looks like in Gorthleck
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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.
Whether the job is in Gorthleck itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
