DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting in Garnethill
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for a grout colour that no longer suits the room and floor grout that won’t come clean, on shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Tenement flats are common in all four of Scotland’s big cities, alongside houses and newer flats. With flats above and below, a leak from a tired seal can reach the flat underneath, and that is as true in Garnethill as anywhere in the city.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Garnethill and across Glasgow.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garnethill
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Garnethill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

When to call us in Garnethill
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Aloysius' College, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Regrouting around Garnethill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Garnethill. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Glasgow has a lot of sandstone tenements, where most bathrooms sit above another flat.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Aloysius Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
