Regrouting in Keiss: local notes
Keiss is within about 1 mile of 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In and around Keiss, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. In the older streets around Church of Scotland, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Keiss is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Anywhere in KW1, we can carry out regrouting at your property. Keiss is one of 253 places in Highland where we work for regrouting.
Work in KW1 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as High Street, South Street and Robertson Crescent. Nearby, we also carry out regrouting in Reiss (4 miles south), Ackergillshore (4 miles south), Hastigrow (5 miles west), Staxigoe (6 miles south-east) and Haster (6 miles south). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Other landmarks nearby include Caithness Broch Centre (2 miles north-east) and Keiss Castle (0.7 miles north-east). Open spaces near Keiss include Loch of Wester.
Regrouting in Keiss, 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. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Keiss work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a place like Keiss, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Questions from Keiss
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Keiss?
All our work, in Keiss and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Keiss?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Keiss is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Other services in Keiss
Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Somewhere like Keiss 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
