Bathroom Resealing in Dores
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Dores and across Highland. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Why act early in Dores
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Dores, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Bathroom resealing in Dores, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are black spots spreading through the bead and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
For a place like Dores, 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 in Dores and across Highland.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Outside jobs in Dores need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Questions from Dores
Is bathroom resealing in Dores guaranteed?
All our work, in Dores and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Dores?
Yes. Dores is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Dores
Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black. 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.
Around Dores, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Dores
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Homes close to Dores Parish Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
