When to call us in Lochee
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Regrouting in Lochee, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What regrouting looks like in Lochee
Lochee is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
In the older streets around Lochee Baptist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Menzieshill High School are buildings too, and 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.
Lochee is about 1 mile west of Dundee, in Dundee. Every kind of property in Lochee is covered for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Lochee is one of 50 places in Dundee we cover.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. In a city area like Lochee, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Lochee
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lochee?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I’m in a tenement in Lochee. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out before any grout comes out.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Do you work in Lochee?
Yes. We cover Lochee. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
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. For landlords in Lochee, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
