How we handle regrouting in West End
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are grout in corners that has cracked and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that’s as true in West End as anywhere in the city.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in West End
Could a leaking bath seal in my West End flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work in hotels near West End?
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.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover West End.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
What we’re called out for in West End
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For landlords with property near Dundee station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
Bathrooms and kitchens in West End
West End is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West End. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to St Peter's Mccheyne Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Harris Academy, 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.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in West End, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
