Lochend Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Lochend, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Private landlords in Lochend must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

How we handle regrouting in Lochend
We work across Lochend, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Lochend 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Inside a flat in Lochend, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Do you need regrouting in Lochend?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about regrouting in Lochend
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in Lochend. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out at the start.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochend
Lochend is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Homes close to St Ninian and Triduana's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Mannafields Christian School? Then 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.
