Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Cardenden
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Typical jobs include a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and wet rooms.
A bathroom in a place like Cardenden 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Bathroom resealing around Cardenden
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
For landlords with property near Cardenden station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Lochgelly High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Cardenden may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
