DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
About our bathroom resealing in Balivanich
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are damp behind the bath or under the tray and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
A bathroom in a place like Balivanich gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Balivanich
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:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For jobs in and around Balivanich, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Balivanich homes and their sealant
Balivanich is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Around Balivanich, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a place like Balivanich, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
