Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Thornwood
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and failed sealant on the screen profile, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Scotland’s cities have a lot of flats, from sandstone or granite tenements to modern blocks, as well as houses in the suburbs. Generally soft Scottish water means less limescale, but steam and poor ventilation still let mould into the sealant and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a tenement in Thornwood, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Bathroom resealing in Thornwood: local notes
Thornwood has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
Rented homes near Partick station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Thornwood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Thornwood, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
