- Grout washed out of a shower
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting in Portlethen Village, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
A bathroom in a place like Portlethen Village 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Portlethen Village: your questions answered
I let a flat near Portlethen station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Portlethen Village in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Portlethen Village is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What we do, step by step
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 we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Portlethen Village need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Do you need regrouting in Portlethen Village?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For an older house near a landmark such as Portlethen Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before booking anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Portlethen Village, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Portlethen Village homes and their sealant
Portlethen Village is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Rented homes near Portlethen station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Portlethen Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
