Riverside of Blairs Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Riverside of Blairs? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting in Riverside of Blairs, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you have greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can put it right, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Riverside of Blairs and across Aberdeen.

How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Around Riverside of Blairs, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathrooms and kitchens in Riverside of Blairs
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
If you live in an older home near Cults West Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Portlethen station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Riverside of Blairs questions
Will you come out to Riverside of Blairs?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Riverside of Blairs in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Riverside of Blairs is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Riverside of Blairs, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
Do you need regrouting in Riverside of Blairs?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Schools such as Cults Academy are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
