Why it’s worth doing now in Ravelston
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Ravelston, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

About our regrouting in Ravelston
We work across Ravelston, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Ravelston, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Space is tight and ventilation can be poor, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Ravelston homes and their sealant
Ravelston is close to 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mary Erskine 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.
Ravelston is about 2 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Ravelston gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, and Ravelston is one of them.

Do you need regrouting in Ravelston?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The most common problems we see are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
Homes close to St Columba's Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Ravelston, 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.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels 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.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
