Craigie homes and their sealant
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. In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you live in an older home near Craigie Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Bathroom resealing in Craigie, done properly
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. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A bathroom in a place like Craigie gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Craigie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Common problems we fix in Craigie
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The most common problems we see are:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Kilmarnock station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
