Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Saline, Fife
We cover Saline for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Leaking joints on a shower screen

- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Why it’s worth doing now in Saline
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- More than 20 years in sealant work

About our bathroom resealing in Saline
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Common call-outs are for smears of silicone across the tiles and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
A bathroom in a place like Saline gets the same daily wear as one in a city flat. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam still lets mould into sealant and grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Saline
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
In and around Saline, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Saline
What bathroom resealing looks like in Saline
In Scotland, private landlords have to 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. Scottish Water supplies are generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Saline may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
