- Floor grout that will not come clean

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a place like Inbhir Aora, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Regrouting in Inbhir Aora
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you have grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, we can help.
A bathroom in a place like Inbhir Aora gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.

Common questions in Inbhir Aora
Do you work in hotels near Inbhir Aora?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Inbhir Aora?
Yes, Inbhir Aora is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

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 that we can handle for you.
Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In an older home around Inbhir Aora, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Inbhir Aora homes and their sealant
Inbhir Aora is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
In and around Inbhir Aora, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For an older house near a landmark such as St. Malieu Hall, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Inbhir Aora (Gaelic: Inveraray) is about 20 miles north-west of Helensburgh, in Argyll and Bute. Across the PA32 area, we can carry out regrouting at your property. We cover 118 towns and villages across Argyll and Bute. There’s also a page for Glasgow, roughly 40 miles from Inbhir Aora.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
