Questions from Gullane
Do you work in hotels near Gullane?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Gullane?
Yes, Gullane is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
How we handle regrouting in Gullane
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout along the bath or tray and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Gullane work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Gullane: local notes
Gullane is within about 1 mile 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Drem station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gullane
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a place like Gullane, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gullane
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Gullane
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Common problems we fix in Gullane
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
In the older streets around St Peter’s Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

What else we do in Gullane
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Gullane depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
