Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Bathroom resealing in Coalsnaughton, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Typical jobs include smears of silicone across the tiles and failed sealant on the screen profile, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
In and around a place like Coalsnaughton, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Coalsnaughton and everywhere else we cover.

Bathroom resealing around Coalsnaughton
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. 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.
Letting a property close to Alloa station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Outdoor work around Coalsnaughton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around Coalsnaughton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We’re fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Tidy, careful work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we are called out for in Coalsnaughton
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Around Coalsnaughton, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
