About our regrouting in Douglas
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Douglas is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why act early in Douglas
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. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Douglas, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep the fan on after showering
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

FAQs for Douglas
Do you work for landlords with property near Broughty Ferry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Douglas in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Douglas is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Inside a flat in Douglas, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Douglas
Douglas 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. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below.
For landlords with property near Broughty Ferry station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What we are called out for in Douglas
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigie High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
