Regrouting in Marchmont, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across bathroom floors, shower walls and tiled floors.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. For landlords in Marchmont, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
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.
Regrouting around Marchmont
Marchmont is within about 3 miles of 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. Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
Homes close to West St Giles' Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Sciennes Primary School, 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.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Marchmont, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common questions in Marchmont
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Marchmont?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, 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 Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you need regrouting in Marchmont?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
