About our regrouting in Fordyce
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We are often asked to deal with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on tiled floors, wet rooms and shower walls.
In and around a place like Fordyce, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are normally the first signs.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Fordyce
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you look after a building such as Fordyce Academy, 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.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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 job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. Outdoor work around Fordyce 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.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Other services in Fordyce
Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In an older home around Fordyce, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Regrouting around Fordyce
Fordyce 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. 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.
Around Fordyce, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
