Regrouting for homes and businesses in Leachkin
We work across Leachkin, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
For a place like Leachkin, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Leachkin and everywhere else we cover.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A floor or wall that keeps moving

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Around Leachkin, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common problems we fix in Leachkin
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Common questions in Leachkin
Do you take on hotel work around Leachkin?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Leachkin homes and their sealant
Leachkin 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you look after a building such as Inverness 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. In the older streets around Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
