Regrouting in Magdalene: local notes
Magdalene is within about 1 mile of 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
Letting a property close to Brunstane station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Portobello High School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Magdalene is about 2 miles west of Musselburgh, in Edinburgh. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Magdalene is covered for regrouting. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, Magdalene among them.

About our regrouting in Magdalene
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you’re dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Magdalene, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, which is hard on sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Magdalene and across Edinburgh.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Magdalene, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Magdalene
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. For landlords in Magdalene, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A leaking wet room membrane

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
