Regrouting in Sighthill, Edinburgh
Professional regrouting in and around Sighthill, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Private landlords in Sighthill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Sighthill
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Sighthill and across Edinburgh.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Common problems we fix in Sighthill
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
