About our regrouting in Ingliston
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. If you’re dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout washed out of a shower, we can put it right.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Ingliston work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ingliston
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. 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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling

Do you need regrouting in Ingliston?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Ingliston: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ingliston?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Gateway station. Can you help?
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 give you a clear price.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How much does regrouting cost in Ingliston?
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 will talk you through it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Ingliston: local notes
Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours 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.

The process
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. Outside jobs in Ingliston need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
