- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob

- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Good tiles let down by tired grout

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting in Cockburnspath: local notes
Cockburnspath is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Homes close to Cockburnspath Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why act early in Cockburnspath
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What guarantee comes with regrouting in Cockburnspath?
All our work, in Cockburnspath and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Cockburnspath?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

How the job changes by surface

Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Cockburnspath, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- 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.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
