Regrouting for Lochmaddy homes and businesses

When to call us in Lochmaddy

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Good tiles let down by tired grout
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Floor grout that will not come clean

In and around Lochmaddy, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What product goes in the joint
  • Is VAT in the price?

10 questions to ask before booking

Regrouting in Lochmaddy

Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Lochmaddy are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout that makes sound tiles look old, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.

In and around a place like Lochmaddy, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.

Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

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.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen splashbacks

Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.

Wet rooms

Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • A leaking wet room membrane

If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Tiled floors
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles

Questions from Lochmaddy

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Lochmaddy?

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.

Do you cover Lochmaddy for regrouting?

Yes, Lochmaddy is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.

Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?

Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Looking after it afterwards

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout

Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.

Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

How we quote for regrouting

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The type of sealant required
  • The size of the job
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The rough size of the job
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Whether it has been sealed before

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Lochmaddy homes and their sealant

Lochmaddy is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.

Whether the job is in Lochmaddy itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Lochmaddy (Gaelic: Loch nam Madadh) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS6, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. 87 places in Na h-Eileanan Siar are on our list.

The process

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Lochmaddy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
