What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Regrouting in Portvoller
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Portvoller
Portvoller is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Schools such as Aird Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Portvoller is about 9 miles east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators cover regrouting for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Portvoller. Across Na h-Eileanan Siar, we cover 87 places, and Portvoller is one of them.
Work in HS2 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we work in Port Mholair (1 mile north-east), Aird (1 mile south-west), Shulishader (2 miles south-west), Sulaisiadar (2 miles south-west) and Garrabost (3 miles south-west). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
Signs you need regrouting in Portvoller
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Around Portvoller, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Questions from Portvoller
Can you do regrouting in Portvoller?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Portvoller is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Portvoller?
Yes, Portvoller is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
How much does regrouting cost in Portvoller?
We do not publish prices, because the cost 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 work begins.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outside jobs in Portvoller need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
