Regrouting in Kirktown
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened.
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 generally the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
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.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Kirktown 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.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Kirktown
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Kirktown
Is Kirktown within the area you cover?
Yes, Kirktown is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Kirktown?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kirktown
Kirktown is within about 2 miles 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. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Around Kirktown, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
