What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Regrouting in Sorbie
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Sorbie 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Regrouting around Sorbie
Sorbie is within about 3 miles 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.
Around Sorbie, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Sorbie questions
Can you do regrouting in Sorbie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sorbie is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Sorbie?
All our work, in Sorbie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sorbie
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When to call us in Sorbie
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you live in an older home near Sorbie Old Kirk, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
