Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Rathven
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in corners that has cracked.
For a place like Rathven, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Regrouting around Rathven
Rathven is within about 2 miles of 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. 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.
In the older streets around St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Rathven is about 1 mile east of Buckie, in Moray. We provide regrouting to homes and businesses in Rathven and nearby, as part of our work across Moray. Across Moray, we cover 58 places, and Rathven is one of them. For nearby work, see our Aberdeen page (47 miles or so).

Your questions about regrouting in Rathven
Is regrouting in Rathven guaranteed?
All our work, in Rathven and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Rathven?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Signs you need regrouting in Rathven
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Managing a site like Buckie High School? Then 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.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
