Regrouting in Joppa
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls alike.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Joppa work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Joppa may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Joppa: your questions answered
Is Joppa within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brunstane station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Joppa
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Joppa and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Regrouting around Joppa
Joppa is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Philip's Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.

When to call us in Joppa
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you look after a building such as Portobello High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
