Regrouting for homes and businesses in Tong
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are splashback grout that has darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
For a place like Tong, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

Tong questions
Is Tong in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Tong is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Tong within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Regrouting around Tong
Tong 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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Whether the job is in Tong itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Do you need regrouting in Tong?
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Around Tong, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

More about regrouting
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Tong 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
