Regrouting in Unthank, Angus
Problem with your tiled areas in Unthank? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Regrouting in Unthank, done properly
Across Unthank, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you’re dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Unthank, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Regrouting in Unthank: local notes
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you look after a building such as Brechin High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Unthank is about 7 miles west of Montrose, in Angus. From the centre of Unthank to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. Our Angus coverage runs to 40 places, Unthank among them. We also work in Dundee, around 22 miles away.

Signs you need regrouting in Unthank
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you live in an older home near West and St Columba's Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Unthank, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- 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

Related advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
