- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a tenement flat in Restalrig, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Restalrig
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout washed out of a shower and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Restalrig, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Restalrig

- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Managing a site like Leith Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Restalrig
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Inside a flat in Restalrig, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Regrouting in Restalrig: local notes
Restalrig 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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 landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Restalrig Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
