How we handle regrouting in Sullom
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. 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. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Sullom homes and their sealant
Sullom 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 Sullom, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Sullom
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

When to call us in Sullom
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Whether the job is in Sullom itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Sullom questions

Do you cover Sullom for regrouting?
Yes, Sullom is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Sullom?
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. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
