Landlords, agents and businesses in Baberton
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed 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 that we can handle for you.
Regrouting in Baberton, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Baberton, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Quotes for regrouting in Baberton
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
If you are in Baberton and need regrouting, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Signs you need regrouting in Baberton
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
For landlords with property near Wester Hailes station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
Bathrooms and kitchens in Baberton
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wester Hailes Baptist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Common questions in Baberton
Could a leaking bath seal in my Baberton flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
I let a flat near Wester Hailes station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of 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 does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you come to Baberton?
We do. Our applicators work in Baberton.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Baberton, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
