The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Marybank 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Regrouting in Marybank
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and old grout in a dated colour, across bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms.
A bathroom in a place like Marybank 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Regrouting in Marybank: local notes
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For landlords with property near Muir of Ord station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Around Marybank, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Marybank is about 13 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Marybank to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Marybank is one of 253 places in Highland where we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
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.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What else we do in Marybank
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marybank
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Your questions about regrouting in Marybank
Is Marybank within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Muir of Ord station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
