Regrouting in Reiss
Tiled areas in Reiss need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Reiss
Across Reiss, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about greasy, stained grout behind the hob and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
For regrouting in Reiss, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Reiss
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For landlords with property near Wick station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere like Reiss may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

See our cost guide or what customers say.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
Bathrooms and kitchens in Reiss
Reiss 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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
