Clermiston Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Clermiston? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting in Clermiston, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and tiled floors.
In Scotland’s cities, including the area around Clermiston, many older flats had their bathrooms added into small rooms later on. Rooms like that are often small and slow to dry out, and steam with nowhere to go is what turns sealant black and grout grey.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Questions from Clermiston
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Clermiston?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I’m in a tenement in Clermiston. Could worn sealant affect the flat downstairs?
Yes. With flats above and below, a leak from a failed seal rarely stays in one flat. A proper reseal, with all the old sealant cut out, stops it at the source.
Do you come to Clermiston?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Clermiston.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Signs you need regrouting in Clermiston
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
