Regrouting across East Lothian: what to expect
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
What you will pay
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What’s near Musselburgh
Around Musselburgh, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Musselburgh, Loretto School and The David Macbeth Moir pub. The nearest railway station is Musselburgh station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Carberry Tower (2.2 miles south-east) and Musselburgh Doll Museum (under half a mile north-east). The countryside around Musselburgh includes The New Leaf Co-op and Whinny Hill.
Where we work in East Lothian
In East Lothian, regrouting takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Musselburgh, Haddington and Dunbar and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Lothian. Parts of East Lothian are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Musselburgh: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loretto School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Musselburgh station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Lothian
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Why it fails
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Common questions in East Lothian
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
