How we handle regrouting in Stockbridge
We work across Stockbridge, 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. If you are dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Stockbridge as anywhere in the city.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Inside a flat in Stockbridge, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Stockbridge: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Stockbridge?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Stockbridge homes and their sealant
Stockbridge is within about 1 mile of 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Broughton High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Stockbridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Do you need regrouting in Stockbridge?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
In the older streets around Stockbridge Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
