Common questions in Goldenacre
Do you work in hotels near Goldenacre?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Goldenacre 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 tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Goldenacre
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we’re called out for in Goldenacre
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Why act early in Goldenacre
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Private landlords in Goldenacre must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Regrouting around Goldenacre
Goldenacre is within about 1 mile of 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. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
In the older streets around St Serf's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Trinity Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Goldenacre is about 1 mile north-west of Canonmills, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Goldenacre get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Goldenacre is one of 175 places in Edinburgh where we work for regrouting.
Here we cover the EH5, EH3 and EH6 postcode area for regrouting. Regrouting is available to properties on Clark Road, Wardie Road and Kinnear Road and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Goldenacre: Inverleith (1 mile south-west), Warriston (1 mile south-east), Boswall (1 mile north-west), Trinity (1 mile north-east) and Stockbridge (1 mile south).

Typical jobs here are in homes near Stockbridge public library, Broughton High School and Victoria Park, among other places. Also close by are Old Chain Pier pub (0.7 miles north) and London Street Primary School (1.1 miles south-east). For rail, the closest station is Edinburgh Waverley station, roughly 1.5 miles south-east.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What affects the quote in Goldenacre
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a tenement in Goldenacre, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
