What regrouting looks like in Rickarton
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For landlords with property near Stonehaven station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Rickarton Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

About our regrouting in Rickarton
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and good tiles let down by tired grout, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
In and around a place like Rickarton, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Rickarton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Rickarton?
Yes, Rickarton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Stonehaven station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Rickarton
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Landlord and commercial work in Rickarton
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Rickarton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
