What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Bruntsfield, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

About our regrouting in Bruntsfield
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Bruntsfield are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include good tiles let down by tired grout and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Bruntsfield is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bruntsfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Bruntsfield
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book

What affects the quote in Bruntsfield
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Questions from Bruntsfield
Do you work in hotels near Bruntsfield?
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.
I’m in a tenement in Bruntsfield. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
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.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bruntsfield
Bruntsfield is close to 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. 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 Morningside United Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Boroughmuir High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
