Regrouting in Rafford
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have grout washed out of a shower and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can put it right, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
A bathroom in a place like Rafford 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Rafford and everywhere else we cover.

Common questions in Rafford
Do you cover smaller places like Rafford?
Yes, Rafford is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Forres station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks

Common problems we fix in Rafford
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
In the older streets around Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Rafford homes and their sealant
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For landlords with property near Forres station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Forres Academy, 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.

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
