About our regrouting in Rothesay
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the 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 and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
A bathroom in a place like Rothesay gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What else we do in Rothesay
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In an older home around Rothesay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Rothesay, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and commercial work in Rothesay

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Regrouting around Rothesay
Rothesay is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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 does not dry out.
If you live in an older home near St Andrews R.C. Church Hall, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Rothesay Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Rothesay
Can you do regrouting in Rothesay?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Rothesay is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rothesay?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
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.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
