How we handle regrouting in Longside
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, 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. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In and around a place like Longside, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Longside, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why Longside customers choose us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels

- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Longside, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
What regrouting looks like in Longside
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 does not dry out. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When to call us in Longside
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
In and around Longside, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
