Regrouting for homes and businesses in Greenbank
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that makes sound tiles look old, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Greenbank is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Greenbank
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Inside a flat in Greenbank, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Greenbank
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do regrouting in Greenbank?
Yes, Greenbank is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Greenbank?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you need regrouting in Greenbank?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Schools such as Firrhill High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Greenbank, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Regrouting in Greenbank: local notes
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For landlords with property near Slateford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
