Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
How we handle regrouting in Mossbank
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can help, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mossbank as everywhere else we work.

Regrouting around Mossbank
Mossbank is close to 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Mossbank, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Mossbank is in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Mossbank to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. Our the Shetland Islands coverage runs to 63 places, Mossbank among them.
Every address in ZE2 is within our area for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Smuggabank, Rayburn Road and Burraness, and we cover them all. Close by, we work in Firth (1 mile south-west), Scatsta (4 miles south-west), Burravoe (5 miles north-east), Ollaberry (6 miles north-west) and Vidlin (6 miles south). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
What else we do in Mossbank
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mossbank
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Signs you need regrouting in Mossbank
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For jobs in and around Mossbank, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does regrouting cost in Mossbank?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Mossbank may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
