Regrouting in Mortonhall: local notes
Edinburgh has a lot of tenement flats, in the Old and New Towns and well beyond, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For an older house near a landmark such as Fairmilehead Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gracemount 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. Rented homes near Slateford station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
FAQs for Mortonhall
Do you cover Mortonhall for regrouting?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Mortonhall is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Mortonhall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Landlord and commercial work in Mortonhall
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use gentle cleaners on 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 keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
