Regrouting in Craigcrook, Edinburgh
Problem with your tiled areas in Craigcrook? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Regrouting in Craigcrook
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. 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, and that is as true in Craigcrook as anywhere in the city.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Craigcrook
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Craigcrook, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Questions from Craigcrook
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Gyle station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Craigcrook?
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.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Craigcrook
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
What regrouting looks like in Craigcrook
Craigcrook is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
Schools such as The Mary Erskine School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near South Gyle station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as St Columba's Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Craigcrook is about 2 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Craigcrook gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Craigcrook is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh where we work for regrouting.
