Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Kirk Yetholm, Scottish Borders
Baths, showers and worktops in Kirk Yetholm need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
What happens if it’s left?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In an older home around Kirk Yetholm, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Bathroom resealing in Kirk Yetholm, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with water getting behind the bath panel and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
For a place like Kirk Yetholm, the job is the same as anywhere: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Kirk Yetholm
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping fixtures and fittings in reasonable repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Homes close to Kirk Yetholm Parish Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window 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.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
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.
