North Kessock Regrouting
Regrouting across North Kessock and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
How we handle regrouting in North Kessock
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and crumbling grout between the tiles, across bathroom floors, tiled floors and shower walls.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Kessock and across Highland.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When to call us in North Kessock
Most 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Managing a site like Inverness High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in North Kessock
I let a flat near Inverness station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover North Kessock for regrouting?
Yes, North Kessock is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Other services in North Kessock
Bathrooms and kitchens in North Kessock
North Kessock is close to 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What’s near North Kessock
The nearest railway station is Inverness station, roughly 2.4 miles south-east. A little further out are Inverness Castle (2.5 miles south-east) and Eastgate Shopping Centre (2.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Ord Hill.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
