Clovenstone Regrouting
Our applicators work in Clovenstone on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
How we handle regrouting in Clovenstone
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Clovenstone 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, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Regrouting around Clovenstone
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
In the older streets around Wester Hailes Baptist Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Clovenstone is about 3 miles south-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Clovenstone get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, Clovenstone among them.
Every address in EH14, EH13 and EH11 is within our area for regrouting. If you need regrouting at a property on Lanark Road, Ashcroft Lane and Alcorn Square or a nearby road, we can help.

Do you need regrouting in Clovenstone?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Letting a property close to Wester Hailes station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

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. The job normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a tenement in Clovenstone, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Clovenstone
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Clovenstone, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Clovenstone questions
I let a flat near Wester Hailes station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Clovenstone in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Clovenstone is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
