For anyone letting property in or around Prestonpans, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Prestonpans
Prestonpans is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Private landlords in Scotland must be registered and meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Failed sealant around a bath or shower is worth sorting between tenancies.
If you look after a building such as Preston Lodge High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Prestonpans station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Prestongrange Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why it’s worth doing now in Prestonpans
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a place like Prestonpans, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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.
