Common questions in Cottown
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Cottown for regrouting?
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.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Cottown and the rest of Aberdeenshire.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
About our regrouting in Cottown
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you have good tiles let down by tired grout and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Cottown work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Cottown and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Cottown, 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Tidy, careful work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottown
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you need regrouting in Cottown?
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. Outdoor work around Cottown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles

What else we do in Cottown
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cottown
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Kemnay Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
