How bathroom resealing works in Clackmannanshire
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant that has gone black and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Where we work in Clackmannanshire
From Alloa, Tullibody and Tillicoultry to its smaller places, homes across Clackmannanshire have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including Clackmannanshire. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Clackmannanshire can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Alloa: Schools such as Alloa Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to Alloa North Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Why it fails
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Why act early?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.
