About our bathroom resealing in Drumsturdy
Homes in Drumsturdy have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you are dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
A bathroom in a place like Drumsturdy 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Can I do it myself?
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.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Drumsturdy
Drumsturdy is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Dundee has plenty of sandstone tenements, so a leaking seal can soon reach the neighbours below.
Letting a property close to Monifieth station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Newbigging Parish Church And War Memorial, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why act early in Drumsturdy
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Drumsturdy, 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Drumsturdy and across Dundee. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Outside jobs in Drumsturdy need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Related advice
Do you need bathroom resealing in Drumsturdy?
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Monifieth 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.
