Shieldaig Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Shieldaig? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Regrouting in Shieldaig
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you’re dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How we quote for regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Shieldaig homes and their sealant
Shieldaig is within about 1 mile of 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For jobs in and around Shieldaig, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Common problems we fix in Shieldaig
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Around Shieldaig, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Shieldaig, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
