Regrouting in Hillend, Angus
We cover Hillend for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
How we handle regrouting in Hillend
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, 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 wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
For a place like Hillend, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

Common questions in Hillend
Is Hillend in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Hillend is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Hillend?
All our work, in Hillend and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Hillend, along with the rest of our area.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
What else we do in Hillend
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outdoor work around Hillend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hillend
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 Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Whether the job is in Hillend itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Signs you need regrouting in Hillend
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Around Hillend, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
