Sprouston Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Sprouston, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Regrouting in Sprouston
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors alike.
For a place like Sprouston, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Sprouston
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Regrouting around Sprouston
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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Sprouston Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
