About our regrouting in Craigton
We work across Craigton, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have good tiles let down by tired grout and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Craigton gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In an older home around Craigton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Regrouting around Craigton
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 does not dry out. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below.
Rented homes near Barry Links station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

When to call us in Craigton
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Homes close to Parish Church And Burial-Ground include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- 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.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
