Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Regrouting in Inchmarlo, done properly
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Inchmarlo 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 for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Questions from Inchmarlo
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Inchmarlo?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you do regrouting in Inchmarlo?
Yes, Inchmarlo is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does regrouting cost in Inchmarlo?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.

When to call us in Inchmarlo
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
If you look after a building such as Banchory Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Regrouting in Inchmarlo: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
