Regrouting in Cottown, Aberdeenshire
Problem with your tiled areas in Cottown? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Cottown, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need regrouting in Cottown
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
For jobs in and around Cottown, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Cottown may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cottown
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
In and around Cottown, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Cottown questions
Is regrouting in Cottown guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do regrouting in Cottown?
Yes, Cottown is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
