Boleside Regrouting
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Boleside. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Boleside, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
About our regrouting in Boleside
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Boleside 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Regrouting in Boleside: local notes
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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 landlords with property near Galashiels station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
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.
When to call us in Boleside
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Managing a site like Galashiels Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a place like Boleside, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
