How we handle regrouting in Craigentinny
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Craigentinny, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Craigentinny
When to call us in Craigentinny
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near Restalrig Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Craigentinny, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Regrouting around Craigentinny
Craigentinny is within about 1 mile of 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. Craigentinny has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Portobello High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Brunstane station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

FAQs for Craigentinny
Do you work in hotels near Craigentinny?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Craigentinny leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Inside a flat in Craigentinny, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
