About our bathroom resealing in Clachan
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have damp behind the bath or under the tray and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a place like Clachan, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Around Clachan, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What bathroom resealing looks like in Clachan
Clachan 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. 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 doesn’t dry out.
In and around Clachan, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we are called out for in Clachan
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For jobs in and around Clachan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
