Regrouting in Newtonmore, Highland
Problem with your tiled areas in Newtonmore? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
About our regrouting in Newtonmore
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Newtonmore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What else we do in Newtonmore
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Your questions about regrouting in Newtonmore
Is Newtonmore within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Newtonmore?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
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. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.

What regrouting looks like in Newtonmore
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Newtonmore has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Around Newtonmore, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Outside jobs in Newtonmore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common problems we fix in Newtonmore
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For landlords with property near Newtonmore station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
