Comely Bank Regrouting
Our applicators work in Comely Bank on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
When to call us in Comely Bank
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Homes close to Dean Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our regrouting in Comely Bank
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you’re dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Comely Bank is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Comely Bank as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. For landlords in Comely Bank, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Comely Bank
Comely Bank 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. 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 let a flat or house near Haymarket station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Broughton High School, 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.

FAQs for Comely Bank
Do you take on hotel work around Comely Bank?
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.
Could a leaking bath seal in my Comely Bank flat reach the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. In a tenement, water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and through to the ceiling below, and then the repair involves your neighbours too. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Comely Bank, along with the rest of our area.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
