- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hallglen
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Hallglen work just as hard as those in the cities. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hallglen and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hallglen
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Bathroom resealing around Hallglen
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. 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.
Homes close to The Tattie Kirk include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Comely Park School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
When to call us in Hallglen
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Falkirk High station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
