Why it’s worth doing now in Burntisland
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not stretched when it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Burntisland
Burntisland is within about 1 mile of 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
Homes close to Kirkton include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Burntisland: your questions answered
Will you come out to Burntisland?
Yes. Burntisland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Burntisland?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job. For a place like Burntisland, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, 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.
Common problems we fix in Burntisland
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
If you let a flat or house near Burntisland station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
