How we handle regrouting in Drumlithie
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Drumlithie 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Outdoor work around Drumlithie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Landlord and commercial work in Drumlithie
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Drumlithie
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In and around Drumlithie, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Drumlithie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common questions in Drumlithie
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Drumlithie?
All our work, in Drumlithie and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Drumlithie?
Yes, Drumlithie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Drumlithie?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
