- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Around Auchencairn, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Bathroom resealing in Auchencairn, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and failed sealant on the screen profile.
A bathroom in a place like Auchencairn gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Auchencairn and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Auchencairn homes and their sealant
Auchencairn 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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.

When to call us in Auchencairn
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you live in an older home near Auchencairn Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
