Do you need regrouting in Melvich?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
In and around Melvich, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How we handle regrouting in Melvich
Across Melvich, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Melvich
Melvich 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For jobs in and around Melvich, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

FAQs for Melvich
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Melvich?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Melvich for regrouting?
Yes, Melvich is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Melvich
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Melvich depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
