About our regrouting in Salen
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and people most often call us about corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
For a place like Salen, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning 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.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

What regrouting looks like in Salen
Salen is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Whether the job is in Salen itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need regrouting in Salen
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
In and around Salen, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outside jobs in Salen need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
