Regrouting in Lochdon, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, on wet rooms, tiled floors 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about regrouting in Lochdon
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Lochdon?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do regrouting in Lochdon?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lochdon is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can I do 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 grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

What regrouting looks like in Lochdon
Lochdon 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. 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.
Around Lochdon, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Lochdon
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For jobs in and around Lochdon, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Lochdon can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Lochdon may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
