FAQs for The Calders
Do you cover The Calders for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and The Calders is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I’m in a tenement in The Calders. 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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Regrouting in The Calders
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, The Calders 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for regrouting in The Calders
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before

Common problems we fix in The Calders
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Rented homes near Wester Hailes station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

- What preparation is included
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a city area like The Calders, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Regrouting around The Calders
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
