Regrouting for homes and businesses in Oxton
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
In and around a place like Oxton, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

When to call us in Oxton
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Around Oxton, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Oxton
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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 jobs in and around Oxton, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

- How easy the joints are to reach

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Your questions about regrouting in Oxton
Do you cover smaller places like Oxton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Oxton?
All our work, in Oxton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How much does regrouting cost in Oxton?
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 resealing included with regrouting?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Oxton 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
