What the job involves on each 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.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

What regrouting looks like in Huxter
Huxter 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Huxter itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Huxter, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Huxter is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Huxter get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Huxter, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about regrouting in Huxter
Can you do regrouting in Huxter?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Huxter is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is Huxter 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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep the fan on after showering
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Huxter may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag 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.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
