About our regrouting in Tillydrone
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. We are often asked to deal with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, across kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Tillydrone is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Parking in city streets around Tillydrone can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag 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.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Private landlords in Tillydrone must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tillydrone
Tillydrone is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to St Joseph's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like St Machar Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Tillydrone: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Tillydrone?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Signs you need regrouting in Tillydrone
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
