How we handle regrouting in Sandwick
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout washed out of a shower.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Sandwick may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
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 often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How much does regrouting cost in Sandwick?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Sandwick homes and their sealant
Sandwick is within about 1 mile of 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Around Sandwick, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Sandwick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
