Hamister Regrouting
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hamister. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How we handle regrouting in Hamister
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you’re dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and old grout in a dated colour, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Hamister, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Hamister homes and their sealant
Hamister is within about 1 mile of 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Hamister, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Hamister is in the Shetland Islands. Every kind of property in Hamister can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.
Every address in ZE2 is covered for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Regrouting is available to properties on Norrendal and North Park. If you are just outside Hamister, we cover Symbister (1 mile south), Tripwell (1 mile north-east), Sandwick (1 mile south), Clate (1 mile south) and Brough (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Lerwick (15 miles south), Sound (15 miles south) and Brae (12 miles west). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed.

Common problems we fix in Hamister
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For jobs in and around Hamister, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Hamister: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hamister?
Yes, Hamister is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Hamister?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can new sealant go over the old?
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hamister and across the Shetland Islands. We can quote a run of properties together.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Hamister depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
