Regrouting near Taobh Lochaidh

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Keep the fan on after showering

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.

Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Taobh Lochaidh

If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and crumbling grout between the tiles, across bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors.

For a place like Taobh Lochaidh, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Mr Mastic applicator sealing the vertical joint between a glass shower screen and tiled wall

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Taobh Lochaidh

  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Shower walls
  • Kitchen splashbacks

Why act early in Taobh Lochaidh

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We’ll tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Why Taobh Lochaidh customers choose us

What the job involves on each surface

Wet rooms

New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.

Shower walls

Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.

What affects the cost of regrouting

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:

  • Access and height
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many areas need sealing
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

What to tell us for a quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Taobh Lochaidh need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any tricky access

Are you an approved applicator?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Do you grout the corners?

We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.

Regrouting around Taobh Lochaidh

Taobh Lochaidh is within about 2 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.

For landlords with property near Banavie station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Lochaber High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
