About our regrouting in Muirhouse
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Muirhouse are handled the same careful way. We are often asked to deal with splashback grout that has darkened and grout washed out of a shower, on shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, alongside houses and newer flats. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Muirhouse
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Old grout in a dated colour
Schools such as Craigroyston Community High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in city streets around Muirhouse can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Muirhouse, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Regrouting in Muirhouse: local notes
Muirhouse is within about 1 mile 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 landlords with property near Haymarket station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions from Muirhouse
I’m in a tenement in Muirhouse. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you take on hotel work around Muirhouse?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Muirhouse?
We do. Our applicators work in Muirhouse.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Muirhouse?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

What else we do in Muirhouse
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
