How we handle bathroom resealing in Low Torry
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A bathroom in a place like Low Torry gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Limescale is less of a problem with Scotland’s generally soft water, but mould still takes hold in damp sealant and grout.
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.

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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. Outdoor work around Low Torry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Low Torry homes and their sealant
Low Torry 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.
Schools such as Craigflower Preparatory School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Low Torry
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Torryburn Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
