How we handle regrouting in Burnfoot
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout in corners that has cracked and old grout in a dated colour.
A bathroom in a place like Burnfoot 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Burnfoot and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about regrouting in Burnfoot
Is regrouting in Burnfoot guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Burnfoot within the area you cover?
Yes. Burnfoot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How long should I wait before showering?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnfoot

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

About regrouting
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Burnfoot depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Signs you need regrouting in Burnfoot
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
In and around Burnfoot, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Regrouting around Burnfoot
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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawick High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
