About our regrouting in Craigiebank
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Craigiebank is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Common problems we fix in Craigiebank
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Homes close to Craigiebank Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Questions from Craigiebank
I’m in a tenement in Craigiebank. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Craigiebank?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Craigiebank homes and their sealant
Craigiebank is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigie High School, 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.

Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a tenement flat in Craigiebank, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
