Regrouting in Sandwick, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Sandwick work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Sandwick homes and their sealant
Sandwick 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In and around Sandwick, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Common problems we fix in Sandwick
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Splashback grout that has darkened
In the older streets around Stornoway High Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- How hidden problems are handled
- How long to leave it before use
