What affects the quote in Toogs

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The number of rooms or windows

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

If you are in Toogs and need regrouting, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.

How we handle regrouting in Toogs

We work across Toogs, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help, on wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls alike.

A bathroom in a place like Toogs gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Regrouting in Toogs: local notes

Toogs is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.

Around Toogs, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Toogs is in the Shetland Islands. Every kind of property in Toogs is covered for regrouting, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Across the Shetland Islands, we cover 63 places, and Toogs is one of them.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Rinse the tiles after showering

Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.

Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

FAQs for Toogs

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Toogs?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Do you cover Toogs for regrouting?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Toogs is part of that. 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.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you grout the corners?

Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?

Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.

How long will you be here?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer.

How it works

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. 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.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why act early in Toogs

Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. 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.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What you get with us

  • We are fully insured
  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work

Do you need regrouting in Toogs?

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines

Homes close to Burra Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • The length of the guarantee
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
