About our regrouting in Auldcathie
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you have floor grout that won’t come clean and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Auldcathie gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Auldcathie as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Why act early in Auldcathie
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Auldcathie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles

Auldcathie homes and their sealant
Auldcathie 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Winchburgh Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Uphall station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
