Regrouting in Scrabster
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Scrabster 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Scrabster and across Highland.

What regrouting looks like in Scrabster
Scrabster 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 doesn’t dry out.
For landlords with property near Thurso station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Schools such as Thurso High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why act early in Scrabster
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Landlords and letting agents in Scrabster can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
FAQs for Scrabster
Do you work for landlords with property near Thurso station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Scrabster?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Every job is quoted individually. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Scrabster depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
