Questions from Markethill
Do you take on hotel work around Markethill?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Markethill?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Markethill and the rest of Perth and Kinross.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Markethill
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you’re dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can put it right.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Markethill work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Advice
What regrouting looks like in Markethill
Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Markethill. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Abbey Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Markethill
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Markethill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
When to call us in Markethill
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
In and around Markethill, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
