About our regrouting in Church Hill
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Church Hill homes and their sealant
Church Hill is within about 3 miles of 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Iain Tomlin School of Music, 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. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Churchill Theatre, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Church Hill is about 1 mile south of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Church Hill is covered for regrouting. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, and Church Hill is one of them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. Parking in city streets around Church Hill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Church Hill
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Why act early in Church Hill
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Church Hill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Common questions in Church Hill
I let a flat near Haymarket station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Church Hill leak into the flat below?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you work in Church Hill?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Church Hill.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
