About our regrouting in Hillside
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We are often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout in corners that has cracked, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Hillside may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we are called out for in Hillside
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Letting a property close to Montrose station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Regrouting around Hillside
Hillside is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 Hillside, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Your questions about regrouting in Hillside
Do you cover Hillside for regrouting?
Yes, Hillside is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

How much does regrouting cost in Hillside?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
