Bathroom resealing across AB22: what to expect
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are two layers of silicone, both failing and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Where we work in AB22
Homes across AB22 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Dyce, Tillydrone and Donside Village there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in AB22 are chosen with that in mind. Along the coast in AB22, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Danestone: Rented homes near Dyce station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Bridge of Don Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
Quotes for bathroom resealing in AB22
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Questions from AB22
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
