About our regrouting in Greenside
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Greenside is in a city with every kind of home. 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.

When to call us in Greenside
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a city area like Greenside, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Private landlords in Greenside must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
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’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What regrouting looks like in Greenside
Greenside 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. 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.
Schools such as London Street Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to St Cuthbert's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Your questions about regrouting in Greenside
Could a leaking bath seal in my Greenside flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work in Greenside?
We do. Our applicators work in Greenside, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
