How we handle regrouting in Kilmun
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Kilmun 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a place like Kilmun, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Regrouting in Kilmun: local notes
Kilmun is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you look after a building such as Dunoon Grammar School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around Kilmun, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Kilmun
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For an older house near a landmark such as St Munn's Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
