Landlords, agents and businesses in Wester Hailes
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wester Hailes
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you are dealing with grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can put it right.
Stone-built tenements are part of every Scottish city, 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 Wester Hailes as anywhere in the city.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Wester Hailes questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Wester Hailes leak into the flat below?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a fresh bead puts a stop to it.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.

Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Private landlords in Wester Hailes must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What regrouting looks like in Wester Hailes
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 covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wester Hailes Baptist Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Wester Hailes station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
