About regrouting in Na h-Eileanan Siar

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We’re often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and shower grout that has worn away, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases.

First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Regrouting across Na h-Eileanan Siar: local notes

From Stornoway, Tarbert and Plasterfield to its smaller places, homes across Na h-Eileanan Siar have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Na h-Eileanan Siar can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Stornoway: Around Stornoway, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Stornoway itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen splashbacks

Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.

Why it fails

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Grout washed out of a shower
Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned

Leave it or put it right?

Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small.

What sealant work cannot fix

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Movement in a stud wall or floor
Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles

FAQs for Na h-Eileanan Siar

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?

Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.

Do you reseal at the same time?

In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

How much does regrouting cost in Na h-Eileanan Siar?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
