How we handle regrouting in Roberton
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Common call-outs are for grout that’s cracking and breaking up and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
A bathroom in a place like Roberton gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Roberton
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Look out for these signs:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
In and around Roberton, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Regrouting around Roberton
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
If you live in an older home near Roberton Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Roberton questions
Will you come out to Roberton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is regrouting in Roberton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Roberton.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Roberton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
