About our regrouting in Saughtonhall
Across Saughtonhall, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Common call-outs are for grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Saughtonhall is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Saughtonhall
Could a leaking bath seal in my Saughtonhall flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Slateford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Regrouting in Saughtonhall: local notes
Saughtonhall is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Schools such as Balgreen Primary School are buildings too, and 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Murrayfield Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Saughtonhall is about 2 miles west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Every kind of property in Saughtonhall is covered for regrouting. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, and Saughtonhall is one of them.

How it works

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saughtonhall
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Saughtonhall and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
What we’re called out for in Saughtonhall
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Shower grout that has worn away
For landlords with property near Slateford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the quote in Saughtonhall
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out 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 a tall building in Saughtonhall, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
