How we handle bathroom resealing in Eddleston
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with splits where the tray meets the wall and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Being further from a city doesn’t change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Eddleston
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you live in an older home near Eddleston Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. 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.
Common questions in Eddleston
Is bathroom resealing in Eddleston guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Eddleston within the area you cover?
Yes. Eddleston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You will know how long to expect before any work starts.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower in most cases. Somewhere like Eddleston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Eddleston homes and their sealant
Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Around Eddleston, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Eddleston
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
