Regrouting for homes and businesses in Liberton
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Liberton is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many tenement bathrooms were fitted into rooms that weren’t built for them. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What we’re called out for in Liberton
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Rented homes near Shawfair station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Liberton: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Liberton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shawfair station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. For landlords in Liberton, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

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.

Schools such as Liberton High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Advice
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
