How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Regrouting in Lochawe, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout in corners that has cracked, across shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
A bathroom in a place like Lochawe 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Lochawe: your questions answered
I let a flat near Loch Awe station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochawe?
Yes. Lochawe 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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Quotes for regrouting in Lochawe
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a place like Lochawe, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochawe
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Rented homes near Loch Awe station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Conan’s Kirk include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
