About our regrouting in Scarinish
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Scarinish work just as hard as those in the cities. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Scarinish
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Regrouting around Scarinish
Scarinish is close to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that doesn’t dry out.
Around Scarinish, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Scarinish
When to call us in Scarinish
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Homes close to Kirkapol Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. Outside jobs in Scarinish need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t 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.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
