Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Inveresk
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
For a place like Inveresk, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Inveresk
Inveresk is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Homes close to St Michael’s Kirk include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Loretto School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Musselburgh station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. Outside jobs in Inveresk need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Inveresk questions
Do you work in hotels near Inveresk?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Musselburgh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
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.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
