Regrouting for homes and businesses in Balerno
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include a grout colour that no longer suits the room and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, across kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need regrouting in Balerno
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mungo's Episcopal Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balerno
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Around Balerno, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote

Bathrooms and kitchens in Balerno
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Tenement flats are common across Edinburgh, and in a tenement, a leaking seal can reach the neighbours below.
Schools such as Balerno Community High School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Balerno is about 6 miles north-west of Penicuik, in Edinburgh. From the centre of Balerno to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our area takes in 175 places across Edinburgh, from the larger towns to small villages. Our Edinburgh page covers work nearby, about 6 miles away.
Here we cover the EH14 postcode area for regrouting. We cover properties on Bridge Road, Main Street and Bavelaw Road. Nearby, we also carry out regrouting in Curriehill (1 mile north-east), Glenbrook (1 mile west), Currie (1 mile north-east), Warriston (1 mile north) and Riccarton (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Edinburgh (6 miles north-east), Leith (9 miles north-east), Bonnington (9 miles north-east), Greenside (8 miles north-east), Broughton (8 miles north-east) and Bellevue (8 miles north-east).
Near you in Balerno
Typical jobs here are in homes near Public House and Malleny Park, among other places. Balerno’s nearest station is Curriehill station, roughly 1.3 miles north-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Linburn Centre (2.9 miles west) and The Gyle Shopping Centre (3.8 miles north). The countryside around Balerno includes Warklaw Hill.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
