- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
How we handle regrouting in Kalliness
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you are dealing with floor grout that has worn and darkened and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Kalliness gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kalliness
Kalliness is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Kalliness, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Kalliness is in the Shetland Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Kalliness can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Kalliness is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands where we work.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Kalliness depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Kalliness questions
Can you do regrouting in Kalliness?
Yes, Kalliness is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Kalliness?
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.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- 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.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles

Common problems we fix in Kalliness
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Whether the job is in Kalliness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
