What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
About our regrouting in Heddle
Across Heddle, 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 shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In and around a place like Heddle, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Heddle and across the Orkney Islands.

Quotes for regrouting in Heddle
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself 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 Heddle, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Heddle
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Heddle, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Regrouting around Heddle
Heddle 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.
Around Heddle, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Heddle itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
