Common questions in Summerhill
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Summerhill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Regrouting in Summerhill, done properly
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include crumbling grout between the tiles and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Signs you need regrouting in Summerhill
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Inside a flat in Summerhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
What affects the quote in Summerhill
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Summerhill
Aberdeen, the Granite City, has plenty of granite tenements, where, as in any flat, a failed 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.
Managing a site like Oakbank School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
