- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Regrouting in Janetstown, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Janetstown are handled the same careful way. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
In and around a place like Janetstown, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Outdoor work around Janetstown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What affects the quote in Janetstown
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What we are called out for in Janetstown
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Regrouting in Janetstown: local notes
Janetstown is within about 3 miles 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thurso High School, 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.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
