About our regrouting in Sandwick
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Common call-outs are for grout that makes sound tiles look old and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
For a place like Sandwick, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Sandwick questions
Is regrouting in Sandwick guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Sandwick in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sandwick is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Signs you need regrouting in Sandwick
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
In and around Sandwick, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a place like Sandwick, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Movement in a stud wall or floor

Regrouting around Sandwick
Sandwick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Whether the job is in Sandwick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
