Regrouting in Bucklerheads
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include grout in corners that has cracked and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and shower walls.
A bathroom in a place like Bucklerheads gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Outdoor work around Bucklerheads depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Advice
Common questions in Bucklerheads
Is Bucklerheads within the area you cover?
Yes, Bucklerheads is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Balmossie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What regrouting looks like in Bucklerheads
Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Letting a property close to Balmossie station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What we’re called out for in Bucklerheads
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you look after a building such as Braeview Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bucklerheads
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Bucklerheads, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

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 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.
How we quote for regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
