How we handle regrouting in Warriston
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it.

- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.

What regrouting looks like in Warriston
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.
Rented homes near Curriehill station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St Mary's Episcopal Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Warriston is about 6 miles south-west of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Every kind of property in Warriston can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Warriston is one of 175 places in Edinburgh where we work. Our Edinburgh page covers work nearby.

Questions from Warriston
Will you come out to Warriston?
Yes. Warriston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Curriehill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What we’re called out for in Warriston
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Managing a site like Currie High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We are fully insured
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
