Regrouting in Westfield, Edinburgh
Tiled areas in Westfield need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Westfield
We work across Westfield, 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. Common call-outs are for grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that won’t come clean, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Private landlords in Westfield 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.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Westfield, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

FAQs for Westfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Slateford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can a failed shower seal in a tenement flat in Westfield leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Westfield homes and their sealant
Westfield is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
If you look after a building such as Balgreen Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Signs you need regrouting in Westfield
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
Rented homes near Slateford station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Quotes for regrouting in Westfield
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
If you are in Westfield and need regrouting, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
