The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Glencraig may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Regrouting in Glencraig
We work across Glencraig, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you’re dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling

- Damaged tiles that need replacing

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting in Glencraig: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. 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.
For landlords with property near Lochgelly station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We will tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Glencraig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can you do regrouting in Glencraig?

Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.

Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Signs you need regrouting in Glencraig
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as Lochgelly High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
