Professional regrouting & resealing in Edinburgh

Regrouting and silicone renewal are the most cost-effective bathroom improvements you can make. If your tiles are still in good condition but the grout is stained, cracked or mouldy — or your bath and shower silicone is mouldy, peeling or leaking — there's no need to retile. John's professional regrouting and resealing service transforms bathrooms across Edinburgh.

Full Re-grouting

All old grout carefully removed and replaced with fresh, clean grout. Transforms your Edinburgh bathroom.

Partial Grout Repairs

Cracked or missing grout in isolated areas repaired and colour-matched where possible.

Grout Sealing

Fresh grout finished with a spray sealer — reduces water penetration and keeps grout cleaner for longer.

Kitchen Re-grouting

Splashbacks and kitchen wall tiles refreshed — particularly effective on metro tile kitchens.

Mould Removal & Regrouting

Mouldy grout removed and replaced — stops the problem at source rather than just cleaning it.

Save money before you retile — regrouting in Edinburgh

Many homeowners across Edinburgh assume tired-looking bathroom tiles need replacing. In most cases this isn't true — professional regrouting can achieve a transformation that looks just as good as new tiles at a fraction of the cost. Not sure which you need? See John's regrout or retile guide →

John provides professional regrouting and resealing across Edinburgh — Old Town, New Town, Leith, Marchmont, Portobello, Morningside, Stockbridge and beyond. A typical full bathroom regrout takes one day and the difference is remarkable.

Why Edinburgh bathrooms need regrouting

Edinburgh's housing stock is unique. Tenement flats in areas like Marchmont, Stockbridge and Leith often have bathrooms that haven't been refreshed in decades. The original tilework is frequently still in great condition — but the grout and silicone tells a different story. Regrouting is the best way to refresh these bathrooms without disturbing period features or hammering at original tiles.

Hard water across Edinburgh also takes its toll. Limescale builds up around bath and shower edges, breaking down silicone faster than in soft-water areas. Most Edinburgh customers find their silicone needs renewing every 3–5 years.

John also works regularly with Edinburgh landlords, letting agents and Airbnb / festival-let hosts — regrouting and resealing between tenants is one of the fastest ways to refresh a tired bathroom without retiling.

How John's regrouting service works

A multi-cutter with a grout blade cuts out all the affected grout without damaging the tiles. The area is wiped down and re-grouted, then finished with a spray sealer to stop water penetrating the fresh grout. It's a straightforward job when you know what you're doing — John has completed tens of thousands of regrouts over 11 years and using the right materials makes a real difference to how long it lasts.

Also need silicone renewal?
John offers bath and shower re-sealing as a separate service — often done alongside regrouting for a complete bathroom refresh.
