Regrouting in Hirst, done properly
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 there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We are often asked to deal with splashback grout that has darkened and grout that makes sound tiles look old, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
In and around a place like Hirst, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Hirst, 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.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Regrouting around Hirst
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out. 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.
In and around Hirst, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you let a flat or house near Shotts station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere like Hirst may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
