The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Around Ellon, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Regrouting in Ellon, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent 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. If you’re dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we are called out for in Ellon
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
Managing a site like Ellon Academy? Then 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.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Ellon homes and their sealant
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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 does not dry out.
In and around Ellon, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Ellon questions
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Ellon?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Ellon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Why act early in Ellon
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a place like Ellon, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
