How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Dundee, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare

About our regrouting in Dundee
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Dundee are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout in corners that has cracked, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Dundee is in a city with every kind of home. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
Common problems we fix in Dundee
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you look after a building such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Regrouting around Dundee
Dundee is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For landlords with property near Dundee station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Dundee is about 38 miles north of Edinburgh, in Dundee. Every kind of property in Dundee is covered for regrouting, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. We cover 50 towns and villages across Dundee, large and small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: 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 explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Dundee, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about regrouting in Dundee
Could a leaking bath seal in my Dundee flat reach the neighbours below?
It can. Tenement floors are usually timber, and water from a failed seal can find its way down to the flat below. It’s worth sorting sealant and grout before it gets that far.
Do you take on hotel work around Dundee?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Dundee, along with the rest of our area.
Do you come to Dundee?
We do. Dundee is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
