Regrouting for homes and businesses in Moredun
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Moredun, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What regrouting looks like in Moredun
Moredun 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Rented homes near Shawfair station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Liberton High 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. If you live in an older home near Liberton Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Moredun is about 3 miles north-west of Bonnyrigg, in Edinburgh. Across the EH17 area, our applicators can take on regrouting. 175 places in Edinburgh are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages.

Landmarks near Moredun
In Moredun, that means homes and buildings near Drum Park. Moredun’s nearest station is Shawfair station, about 1.8 miles east.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Moredun: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shawfair station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Moredun flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are usually timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Moredun?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Why it’s worth doing now in Moredun
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Private landlords in Moredun must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
