- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our bathroom resealing in Inbhir Aora
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
Bathrooms in smaller places like Inbhir Aora 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Outside jobs in Inbhir Aora 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.
- 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.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Questions from Inbhir Aora
Do you work in hotels near Inbhir Aora?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Inbhir Aora?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Inbhir Aora and the rest of Argyll and Bute, along with the rest of our area.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
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. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
When to call us in Inbhir Aora
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Homes close to St. Malieu Hall include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
