What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
How we handle regrouting in Hermiston
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
A bathroom in a place like Hermiston gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Hermiston: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hermiston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Do you need regrouting in Hermiston?
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Park station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Regrouting around Hermiston
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
Around Hermiston, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Hermiston is about 5 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Wherever you are in the EH12 postcode area, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. We cover 175 towns and villages across Edinburgh.

What’s near Hermiston

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
