Regrouting in Hamnavoe
Regrouting across Hamnavoe and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

How we handle regrouting in Hamnavoe
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms.
For a place like Hamnavoe, the job is the same as anywhere: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Hamnavoe
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
In and around Hamnavoe, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: 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. For a place like Hamnavoe, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.

How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What regrouting looks like in Hamnavoe
Hamnavoe 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Hamnavoe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
