Your questions about regrouting in Slackbuie
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Slackbuie?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Regrouting in Slackbuie: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Slackbuie. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Slackbuie is about 2 miles south of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Slackbuie to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Slackbuie is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover.

Neighbouring places we cover for regrouting include Lochardil (1 mile north-west), Hilton (1 mile north), Inverness (2 miles north), Ballifeary (2 miles north-west) and Crown (2 miles north).

Around Slackbuie
Typical jobs here are in homes near Whin Park and Inverness Royal Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Inverness station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.

What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a place like Slackbuie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well 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 and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
When to call us in Slackbuie
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
In and around Slackbuie, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
