What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Glenbrook, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking the tiles for 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Glenbrook
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We are often asked to deal with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout in corners that has cracked, across kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and shower walls.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Glenbrook work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Glenbrook
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
If you look after a building such as Balerno Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Curriehill station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
When to call us in Glenbrook
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
In the older streets around Balerno Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Your questions about regrouting in Glenbrook
Do you cover smaller places like Glenbrook?
Yes, Glenbrook is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Curriehill station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Landlord and commercial work in Glenbrook
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks

- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
