How we handle regrouting in Duddingston
Across Duddingston, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are good tiles let down by tired grout and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Duddingston
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For landlords with property near Brunstane station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about regrouting in Duddingston
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Duddingston?
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.
Is Duddingston within the area you cover?

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

Do you guarantee regrouting?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Duddingston
Duddingston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
If you live in an older home near Duddingston Kirk, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Rood High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Advice
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Duddingston
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.

What else we do in Duddingston
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
