About our regrouting in Kingsteps
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We’re often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
What affects the quote in Kingsteps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What else we do in Kingsteps
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In an older home around Kingsteps, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kingsteps
Kingsteps is close to 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For landlords with property near Nairn station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Signs you need regrouting in Kingsteps
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
Schools such as Nairn Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
Honest limits

- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Kingsteps questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Nairn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kingsteps?
Yes. Kingsteps is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Kingsteps depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
