Regrouting in Grimeston
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. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Grimeston questions
Is regrouting in Grimeston guaranteed?
All our work, in Grimeston and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Grimeston within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole 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.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Grimeston?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Grimeston homes and their sealant
Grimeston is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around Grimeston, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Grimeston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Grimeston is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Grimeston can book us for regrouting. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our the Orkney Islands coverage runs to 51 places, Grimeston among them.

Neighbouring places we cover for regrouting include Bimbister (1 mile north-east), Harray (2 miles north), Stenness (2 miles south), Wasbister (2 miles west) and Russland (2 miles north). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

What else we do in Grimeston
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We never seal over old sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimeston
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Grimeston, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Grimeston, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Ask for a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
