- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
What we’re called out for in Strichen
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
In the older streets around All Saints' Episcopal Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
About our regrouting in Strichen
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strichen as everywhere else we work.

Why act early in Strichen
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
What regrouting looks like in Strichen
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
In and around Strichen, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally 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.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

FAQs for Strichen
Can you do regrouting in Strichen?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Strichen is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Strichen?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
