About our regrouting in Toab
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Being further from a city does not change the work: everything old is cut out, the joints are cleaned and dried, and new sealant or grout goes in. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands.

Toab homes and their sealant
Toab is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
For jobs in and around Toab, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Toab is in the Shetland Islands. Whether you’re in the middle of Toab or further out, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. Our area takes in 63 places across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

Do you need regrouting in Toab?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
In and around Toab, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
