The process

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Marywell depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
  2. Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice

How we handle regrouting in Marywell

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.

A bathroom in a place like Marywell gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?

New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Marywell, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When something else is needed

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Shower walls
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom floors

Common problems we fix in Marywell

A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Floor grout that will not come clean

Schools such as Portlethen Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.

Marywell homes and their sealant

Marywell is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.

For landlords with property near Portlethen station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Marywell questions

Do you work for landlords with property near Portlethen station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.

Is Marywell in your area for regrouting?

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Marywell is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Marywell?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Do the sealants smell?

Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

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?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.

Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Marywell and across Aberdeen. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
