Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle regrouting in Piershill
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with crumbling grout between the tiles and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, 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.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions about regrouting in Piershill
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Piershill?
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.
I’m in a tenement in Piershill. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a mark on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you come to Piershill?
Yes. We cover Piershill. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. For landlords in Piershill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in Piershill
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Schools such as Portobello High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Piershill, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Piershill
Piershill is within about 2 miles 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around Willowbrae Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
