Regrouting in Closeburn
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even 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. We’re often asked to deal with floor grout that has worn and darkened and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on shower walls, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
A bathroom in a place like Closeburn 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Closeburn
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that will not come clean
In the older streets around Closeburn Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a place like Closeburn, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Common questions in Closeburn
Is Closeburn within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is regrouting in Closeburn guaranteed?
All our work, in Closeburn and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Closeburn homes and their sealant
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 does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
If you look after a building such as Wallace Hall Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
