Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we are called out for in Backmuir of Pitfirrane
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Schools such as Queen Anne High School Dunfermline 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.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work

Are you an approved applicator?

Will you leave a mess?

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Backmuir of Pitfirrane
Backmuir of Pitfirrane is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. In Scotland, private landlords have to 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.
Letting a property close to Dunfermline City station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
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.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a place like Backmuir of Pitfirrane, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
