Our regrouting service in Midlothian
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Common call-outs are for dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout in corners that has cracked, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Local landmarks in Bonnyrigg
In Bonnyrigg, that means homes and buildings near Bonnyrigg Parish Church, Lasswade High School Centre and Public Library and the streets around them. The closest station to Bonnyrigg is Eskbank station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Dalhousie Castle (1.2 miles south-east) and Midlothian Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). Not far away are The New Leaf Co-op and Edgelaw Reservoir.
Bathrooms and kitchens across Midlothian
Our regrouting work across Midlothian covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Midlothian. Midlothian includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Bonnyrigg: For an older house near a landmark such as Bonnyrigg Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Eskbank station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams across Midlothian. Several sites can go on one quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Your questions about regrouting in Midlothian
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
