DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Regrouting in Scatness
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 nothing is ripped out. If you’re dealing with floor grout that won’t come clean and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
For a place like Scatness, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Outdoor work around Scatness depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Regrouting in Scatness: local notes
Scatness 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 Scatness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Scatness, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Scatness?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
