- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Straiton
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Outdoor work around Straiton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
When to call us in Straiton
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
In the older streets around Straiton Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Straiton
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. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. But mould still grows into sealant and grout in a room that does not dry out.
