Regrouting in Morningside, Edinburgh
We cover Morningside for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
How we handle regrouting in Morningside
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and good tiles let down by tired grout.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Morningside is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. Inside a flat in Morningside, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.

Morningside homes and their sealant
Morningside has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Slateford station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? 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.
Morningside is about 1 mile south of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Morningside get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh.

Morningside: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Morningside?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I’m in a tenement in Morningside. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
It can. Tenement floors are generally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Morningside, along with the rest of our area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
