Regrouting in Mayfield, done properly
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or crumbling grout lines and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, on shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Mayfield, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Mayfield and across Edinburgh.

Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Inside a flat in Mayfield, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.

FAQs for Mayfield
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Mayfield?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

When to call us in Mayfield
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to Craigmillar Park Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
Mayfield homes and their sealant
Mayfield is within about 3 miles 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. 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.
Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Royal Blind 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.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
