How we handle regrouting in Birkenshaw
Across Birkenshaw, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Birkenshaw work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about regrouting in Birkenshaw
Do you work in hotels near Birkenshaw?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Birkenshaw?
Yes. Birkenshaw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a place like Birkenshaw, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
What regrouting looks like in Birkenshaw
Birkenshaw has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
