Why it’s worth doing now in Lochans
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a place like Lochans, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

About our regrouting in Lochans
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and floor grout that won’t come clean.
A bathroom in a place like Lochans 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need regrouting in Lochans?
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Around Lochans, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lochans
Lochans is close to 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. 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
