Regrouting in Holyrood, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and old grout in a dated colour.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking in city streets around Holyrood can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about regrouting in Holyrood
Could a leaking bath seal in my Holyrood 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Holyrood?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you come to Holyrood?
Yes. We cover Holyrood. To book, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs you need regrouting in Holyrood
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you live in an older home near St Cuthbert's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Regrouting in Holyrood: local notes
Holyrood is within about 2 miles 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Schools such as Old Royal High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
