How we handle regrouting in Corstorphine
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and shower walls.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Corstorphine, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Regrouting around Corstorphine
Corstorphine is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Managing a site like Craigmount High 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. Rented homes near South Gyle station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Common questions in Corstorphine
Do you take on hotel work around Corstorphine?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I’m in a tenement in Corstorphine. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

Why act early in Corstorphine
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
