Regrouting for homes and businesses in Longman
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We’re often asked to deal with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and splashback grout that has darkened, across bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Longman homes and their sealant
Longman 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Longman has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Millburn Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Longman is about 1 mile north of Inverness, in Highland. We provide regrouting to householders, landlords and businesses in Longman, as part of our work across Highland. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland.

Signs you need regrouting in Longman
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you live in an older home near East Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We’ll tell you before work begins so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a place like Longman, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

FAQs for Longman
Is Longman within the area you cover?
Yes, Longman is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Inverness station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
