Quotes for regrouting in Chesser
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote

How we handle regrouting in Chesser
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you are dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
Chesser is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Chesser, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Regrouting in Chesser: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Slateford station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around Stenhouse Saughton Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Chesser is about 2 miles south-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Anywhere in EH14, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, and Chesser is one of them.
Every address in EH14, EH11 and EH12 is within our area for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need regrouting at a property on Appin Lane, Ford's Road and Gorgie Road or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job.

Around Chesser

Also close by are Saughton Park (within half a mile north) and Firrhill High School (1.1 miles south-east). Chesser has its own railway station: Slateford station. A little further out are Merchiston Tower (1.4 miles east) and Murrayfield Experience (0.9 miles north). Not far away are Dunsapie Loch and Craiglockhart Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
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.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Chesser, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

More services for Chesser
Do you need regrouting in Chesser?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Schools such as Balgreen Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
