The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a tenement in Wester Broom, 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wester Broom
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with splashback grout that has darkened and grout in corners that has cracked, on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside suburban houses and modern blocks. In a tenement, most bathrooms sit above someone else’s ceiling, so failed sealant around a bath or shower can soon become a neighbour’s problem.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of regrouting
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Common problems we fix in Wester Broom
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Look out for any of the following:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Schools such as Forrester High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why act early in Wester Broom
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a tenement flat in Wester Broom, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Regrouting in Wester Broom: local notes
Wester Broom is within about 3 miles 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. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
If you let a flat or house near South Gyle station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Wester Broom: your questions answered
Could a leaking bath seal in my Wester Broom flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are normally timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. Replacing tired sealant early is the simplest way to avoid that.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Wester Broom?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
