Regrouting in Reay, Highland
We cover Reay for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Regrouting in Reay, done properly
Across Reay, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Reay
Reay 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.
Around Reay, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Reay is about 10 miles west of Thurso, in Highland. Every kind of property in Reay is covered for regrouting, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, and Reay is one of them.
Every address in KW14 is covered for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need regrouting at a property on The Terrace, The Avenue and Beinn Ratha Court or anywhere close by, we can help.

What’s near Reay
Well-known places in the area include Dounreay Castle (2.1 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Caol-Loch.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Quotes for regrouting in Reay
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Common problems we fix in Reay
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you live in an older home near Reay Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long the guarantee is
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Common questions in Reay
Is Reay within the area you cover?
Yes. Reay is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Reay?
All our work, in Reay and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Around Reay, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
