Regrouting in Houston, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks 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 normally the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

When to call us in Houston
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Schools such as Gryffe High School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What guarantee comes with the work
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a place like Houston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What regrouting looks like in Houston
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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. 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.
Rented homes near Johnstone station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near St Fillan's R.C. Church and School, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Houston is about 3 miles north-west of Johnstone, in Renfrewshire. Anywhere in PA6, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Across Renfrewshire, we cover 21 places, and Houston is one of them. There’s also a page for Glasgow, roughly 11 miles from Houston.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
