About our regrouting in Silverknowes
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Silverknowes is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Silverknowes
Silverknowes is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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 look after a building such as Craigroyston Community High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to South Gyle station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St Columba's Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Silverknowes is about 3 miles north-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. From the centre of Silverknowes to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. 175 places in Edinburgh are on our list, large and small.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a tenement in Silverknowes, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Your questions about regrouting in Silverknowes
I’m in a tenement in Silverknowes. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Is Silverknowes in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Silverknowes is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower normally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Why it’s worth doing now in Silverknowes
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Private landlords in Silverknowes must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
