About our regrouting in Brunstane
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We’re often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked, across bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a city area like Brunstane, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Brunstane: your questions answered
I let a flat near Brunstane 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 will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Brunstane?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Brunstane, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
What affects the cost of regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls

Regrouting in Brunstane: local notes
Brunstane is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Homes close to St Philip's Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Brunstane is about 2 miles west of Musselburgh, in Edinburgh. Every kind of property in Brunstane is covered for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Brunstane is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
