Specialist regrouting for Red Craig: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. 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.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Regrouting in Red Craig
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include good tiles let down by tired grout and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
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. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Why act early in Red Craig
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Red Craig
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Red Craig in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Red Craig is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Red Craig
Red Craig 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Forres station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
