Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Kilmuir
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and two layers of silicone, both failing, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
For a place like Kilmuir, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. The journey and access are simply planned in advance.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Kilmuir
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
In and around Kilmuir, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers and we leave things clean and tidy. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Bathroom resealing in Kilmuir: local notes
Kilmuir is within about 2 miles of 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. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in.
Whether the job is in Kilmuir itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. In a place like Kilmuir, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
