Regrouting in Kirkliston
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even 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. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout washed out of a shower.
In and around a place like Kirkliston, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we quote for regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Kirkliston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you change the grout colour?

What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Kirkliston homes and their sealant
Kirkliston is within about 3 miles of 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
In the older streets around Kirkliston Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Queensferry High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Dalmeny station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
