Regrouting in Grimbister, done properly
Across Grimbister, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Grimbister and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Do you need regrouting in Grimbister?
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Around Grimbister, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Regrouting around Grimbister
Grimbister 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. 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.
For jobs in and around Grimbister, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

All about regrouting
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a place like Grimbister, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Questions from Grimbister
Is Grimbister in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Grimbister is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Grimbister?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Grimbister, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
