Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Regrouting in Sauchieburn, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout in corners that has cracked, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
In and around a place like Sauchieburn, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Bathrooms and kitchens in Sauchieburn
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 does not dry out. 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.
Rented homes near Laurencekirk station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What we’re called out for in Sauchieburn
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you live in an older home near Luthermuir Chapel, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
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.
Your questions about regrouting in Sauchieburn
Do you work for landlords with property near Laurencekirk station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Sauchieburn?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Sauchieburn?
We do not publish prices, because the cost 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.
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.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
What affects the quote in Sauchieburn
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
