Is Newmachar in your area for regrouting?

Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Regrouting in Newmachar, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
In and around a place like Newmachar, homes range from older stone-built properties 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 is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newmachar
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Newmachar, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Newmachar homes and their sealant
Aberdeen is known for its granite tenements, and in a tenement, a failed seal can reach the flat below. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as New Machar Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Dyce station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Newmachar Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
