Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Regrouting in Broughty Ferry, done properly
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t 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. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Broughty Ferry is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What regrouting looks like in Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry 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. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
In the older streets around Queen Street Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Grove 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. Rented homes near Broughty Ferry station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Broughty Ferry is about 4 miles east of Dundee, in Dundee. Broughty Ferry gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Broughty Ferry is one of 50 places in Dundee we cover for regrouting.

Should I try it myself 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a tenement in Broughty Ferry, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Your questions about regrouting in Broughty Ferry
I’m in a tenement in Broughty Ferry. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work for landlords with property near Broughty Ferry station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Broughty Ferry?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
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. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Private landlords in Broughty Ferry must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
