What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Regrouting in Scalloway
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with good tiles let down by tired grout and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Scalloway work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Scalloway may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Questions from Scalloway
Is regrouting in Scalloway guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Scalloway in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Scalloway is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do 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.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why act early in Scalloway
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scalloway
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Scalloway can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Scalloway
Scalloway 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.
In and around Scalloway, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Homes close to Methodist Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
