Tomintoul Regrouting
Our applicators work in Tomintoul on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Tomintoul depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Regrouting in Tomintoul, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
In and around a place like Tomintoul, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tomintoul
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What we are called out for in Tomintoul
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Whether the job is in Tomintoul itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Your questions about regrouting in Tomintoul
Do you cover smaller places like Tomintoul?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is regrouting in Tomintoul guaranteed?
All our work, in Tomintoul and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What regrouting looks like in Tomintoul
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
