About our regrouting in Maybury
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Maybury 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
What regrouting looks like in Maybury
Maybury 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. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Maybury is about 4 miles west of West End, in Edinburgh. Whether you’re in the middle of Maybury or further out, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. Maybury is one of 175 places in Edinburgh we cover.
Work in EH12 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need regrouting at a property on Niven Road, Windle Road and Gyle Avenue or a nearby road, we can help.

What’s near Maybury

Common questions in Maybury
I’m in a tenement in Maybury. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you come to Maybury?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Maybury.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking in city streets around Maybury can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Common problems we fix in Maybury
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Look out for these signs:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Rented homes near Edinburgh Gateway station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
What affects the quote in Maybury
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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 we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
