Regrouting in Broomhill
We work across Broomhill, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Typical jobs include old grout in a dated colour and grout washed out of a shower, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that’s as true in Broomhill as anywhere in the city.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

Why deal with it now?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Broomhill
Broomhill is within about 3 miles 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you look after a building such as Albyn School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Ruthrieston West Church And Hall, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Broomhill questions
Could a leaking bath seal in my Broomhill flat reach the neighbours below?
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 work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Do you need regrouting in Broomhill?
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
