Bathrooms and kitchens in Rattar
Rattar is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Whether the job is in Rattar itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Rattar is about 10 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Rattar get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, large and small.

Regrouting in Rattar
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are corners filled with grout instead of silicone and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Rattar
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Rattar?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Rattar?
Yes, Rattar is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How much does regrouting cost in Rattar?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Rattar
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Around Rattar, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a place like Rattar, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In an older home around Rattar, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Landlord and commercial work in Rattar
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: 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.
