About our bathroom resealing in Branahuie
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Branahuie work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- 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.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a place like Branahuie, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
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, so the line doesn’t stand out.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Branahuie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Branahuie
Branahuie is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and 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.
For jobs in and around Branahuie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Branahuie, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
