Eastriggs Bathroom Resealing
Our applicators work in Eastriggs on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
When to call us in Eastriggs
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For landlords with property near Annan station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Bathroom resealing in Eastriggs: local notes
Eastriggs is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Episcopal Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
