Monikie homes and their sealant
Sandstone tenements are a big part of Dundee’s housing, where a failed bath or shower seal can reach the flat below. 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 doesn’t dry out.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church And Burial-Ground, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

About our regrouting in Monikie
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you are dealing with grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors alike.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Signs you need regrouting in Monikie
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
If you let a flat or house near Monifieth station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What affects the quote in Monikie
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outdoor work around Monikie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
