Regrouting in Cornhill, Aberdeen
Tiled areas in Cornhill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Cornhill
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout washed out of a shower, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Cornhill
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in Cornhill. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Why act early in Cornhill
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. For landlords in Cornhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What regrouting looks like in Cornhill
Cornhill is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, and in a tenement, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northfield Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near St Ninian's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Cornhill is about 1 mile north-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Jobs in Cornhill get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 63 places across Aberdeen.

How we quote for regrouting
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Cornhill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
