Regrouting for homes and businesses in Woodside

If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the surface.

Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem, and that’s as true in Woodside as anywhere in the city.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why act early in Woodside

New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Woodside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.

The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What you get with us

  • Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
  • Homes, businesses and hotels
  • We are fully insured
  • Old sealant always removed completely

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodside

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

How the visit works

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a tenement in Woodside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Tell us if parking is tricky

Woodside questions

I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.

Do you take on hotel work around Woodside?

Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Is it worth trying it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.

What the job involves on each surface

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.

Bathroom wall tiles

Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

What regrouting looks like in Woodside

Woodside is within about 2 miles of 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. Woodside has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

If you look after a building such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Woodside is about 1 mile north-east of Dundee, in Dundee. Wherever you are in the DD3 postcode area, we can carry out regrouting at your property. Woodside is one of 50 places in Dundee we cover for regrouting.

Our applicators cover all of the DD3, DD4 and DD1 postcode area for regrouting and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Park Road, Dens Road and Caird Avenue, and we cover them all.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Damaged tiles that need replacing
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Shower walls
  • Wet rooms
  • Bathroom floors

Do you need regrouting in Woodside?

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles

If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What your quote should include

  • What insurance they hold
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
