Strontian Regrouting
We cover Strontian for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
How we handle regrouting in Strontian
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you have cracked grout along the bath or tray and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and shower walls alike.
For a place like Strontian, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Strontian and across Highland.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need regrouting in Strontian?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you live in an older home near Strontian Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a place like Strontian, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Quotes for regrouting in Strontian
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Strontian homes and their sealant
Strontian is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Around Strontian, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Strontian
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Strontian?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Strontian?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
