About our regrouting in Burgh Muir
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you’re dealing with floor grout that won’t come clean and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can help, whatever the surface.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Questions from Burgh Muir
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Burgh Muir?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
What we’re called out for in Burgh Muir
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Managing a site like Sciennes Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What preparation is included
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a city area like Burgh Muir, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

If you live in an older home near Mayfield Salisbury Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
