Regrouting in Slateford, Edinburgh
Professional regrouting in and around Slateford, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened

Regrouting in Slateford, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.

FAQs for Slateford
I’m in a tenement in Slateford. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you work for landlords with property near Slateford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Signs you need regrouting in Slateford
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Schools such as Craiglockhart 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
What else we do in Slateford
What affects the quote in Slateford
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and pictures are welcome.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Slateford, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. Inside a flat in Slateford, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.

How to prepare

Advice
Slateford homes and their sealant
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, where a failed seal can soon reach the flat below.
Homes close to St. Cuthbert's Catholic Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Slateford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
