Regrouting in Jock's Lodge: local notes
Jock's Lodge is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Jock's Lodge has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Willowbrae Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Jock's Lodge is about 2 miles south-east of Leith, in Edinburgh. Wherever you are in the EH7 postcode area, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Jock's Lodge is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover for regrouting.
Work in EH7 and EH8 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on Dalgety Road, Loaning Road and Abercorn Road or a nearby road, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out regrouting in Willowbrae (1 mile south-east), Piershill (1 mile east), Restalrig (1 mile north), Meadowbank (1 mile west) and Lochend (1 mile north-west).

Regrouting in Jock's Lodge
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and tiled floors.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Jock's Lodge is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, 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 a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Jock's Lodge, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Why act early in Jock's Lodge
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Jock's Lodge
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Jock's Lodge leak into the flat 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, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

For anyone letting property in or around Jock's Lodge, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.

Signs you need regrouting in Jock's Lodge
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you look after a building such as Mannafields Christian School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
