Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Lochinver, Highland
We cover Lochinver for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
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.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Lochinver
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. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for failed sealant on the screen profile and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, on baths, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
In and around a place like Lochinver, homes range from older stone-built properties to newer houses. Where a building moves, cracked grout and split sealant are usually the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Lochinver, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Bathroom resealing in Lochinver: local notes
Lochinver is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
For jobs in and around Lochinver, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Lochinver: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lochinver?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Lochinver?
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 the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When to call us in Lochinver
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In and around Lochinver, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
