About our regrouting in Hatton of Fintray
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
For a place like Hatton of Fintray, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What regrouting looks like in Hatton of Fintray
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. Aberdeen is known for its granite tenements, and in a tenement, a failed seal can reach the flat below.
If you live in an older home near Old Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Hatton of Fintray is about 6 miles south-east of Inverurie, in Aberdeen.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In an older home around Hatton of Fintray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need regrouting in Hatton of Fintray?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Letting a property close to Kintore station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

FAQs for Hatton of Fintray
Is Hatton of Fintray within the area you cover?
Yes, Hatton of Fintray is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Landlord and commercial work in Hatton of Fintray

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
