Regrouting in Cummertrees
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Cummertrees work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Cummertrees
Cummertrees is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Homes close to Cummertrees Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What else we do in Cummertrees
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Cummertrees, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Cummertrees depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common problems we fix in Cummertrees
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Rented homes near Annan station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
