Regrouting around Hoswick
Hoswick 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For jobs in and around Hoswick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Hoswick is about 11 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Hoswick gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Hoswick is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work for regrouting.
Work in ZE2 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Regrouting is available to properties on Greenfield Road and Brakefield Road and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for regrouting include Sandwick (1 mile east), Levenwick (2 miles south), Bigton (3 miles south-west), Mail (3 miles north) and Bremirehoull (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Lerwick (11 miles north), Sound (11 miles north) and Scalloway (10 miles north). If you’re somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hoswick
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Common call-outs are for grout in corners that has cracked and splashback grout that has darkened, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Hoswick work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Hoswick: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Hoswick?
All our work, in Hoswick and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Hoswick?
Yes, Hoswick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long should I wait before showering?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Do you need regrouting in Hoswick?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
In and around Hoswick, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoswick
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Hoswick, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
