- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How we handle regrouting in Balnagask
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout in a colour the owner wants to change and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Balnagask questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Balnagask?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I’m in a tenement in Balnagask. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. 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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Do you cover Balnagask?
We do. Balnagask is part of the area we cover.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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 thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

When to call us in Balnagask
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Managing a site like Torry Academy? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Regrouting in Balnagask: local notes
Balnagask is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Fittick's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on how much there is to do. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Balnagask, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
