What the job involves on each surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Bathroom resealing in Tarves
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. Typical jobs include failed sealant on the screen profile and water getting behind the bath panel, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
Being further from a city does not change the work: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish. We just plan the journey and access beforehand.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Outside jobs in Tarves need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In an older home around Tarves, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bathroom resealing around Tarves
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 doesn’t dry out. 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.
Homes close to Tarves Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Around Tarves, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

Common questions in Tarves
Is bathroom resealing in Tarves guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Tarves?
Yes. Tarves is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Tarves?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
