Regrouting for homes and businesses in Barnhill
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Barnhill as anywhere in the city.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Regrouting in Barnhill: local notes
Barnhill is close to 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For landlords with property near Balmossie station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Barnhill is about 5 miles east of Dundee, in Dundee. Jobs in Barnhill get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Barnhill is one of 50 towns and villages in Dundee where we work for regrouting.

FAQs for Barnhill
Do you cover Barnhill for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Barnhill is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Balmossie station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
When to call us in Barnhill
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you look after a building such as Monifieth High School, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barnhill
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

What else we do in Barnhill
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Barnhill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
