Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Firth
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about black spots spreading through the bead and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses. Older buildings can move a little, and that shows first in cracked grout and split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Firth and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Firth, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we’re called out for in Firth
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For jobs in and around Firth, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Firth homes and their sealant
Firth 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Firth, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
