Bathroom Resealing in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Bathroom resealing across Na h-Eileanan Siar: what to expect

We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with two layers of silicone, both failing and smears of silicone across the tiles, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

• Never pick at the silicone with a blade
• Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
• Dry the bead with a towel now and then
• Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.

Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
