Regrouting in Calton
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. Common call-outs are for cracked or crumbling grout lines and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Calton, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking in city streets around Calton can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are 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.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about regrouting in Calton
I’m in a tenement in Calton. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you take on hotel work around Calton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Where are you based?

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Calton
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need regrouting in Calton?
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
For landlords with property near Bellgrove station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
