Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Dechmont, West Lothian
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Dechmont? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Bathroom resealing in Dechmont, done properly
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints on a shower screen and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are generally the first signs.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Dechmont?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you look after a building such as Deans Community High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking

Bathrooms and kitchens in Dechmont
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Dechmont. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
Homes close to Former Memorial Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Uphall station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Around Dechmont, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
