About our bathroom resealing in Westruther
Across Westruther, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints on a shower screen and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
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 can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Outdoor work around Westruther depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Do you need bathroom resealing in Westruther?
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Homes close to Old Parish Church and Churchyard include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- Who turns up on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Bathroom resealing around Westruther
In Scotland, private landlords have to meet the Repairing Standard, which covers keeping fixtures and fittings in a reasonable state of repair. Tired, leaking sealant is worth putting right before a new tenant moves in. 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.
In and around Westruther, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
