Regrouting in Milltown of Rothiemay, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you have grout washed out of a shower and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help, on bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
A bathroom in a place like Milltown of Rothiemay gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Milltown of Rothiemay
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
In the older streets around Rothiemay Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Milltown of Rothiemay may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
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.
Milltown of Rothiemay homes and their sealant
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
