How bathroom resealing works in AB33
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are two layers of silicone, both failing and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
What affects the price in AB33

Bathroom resealing across AB33: local notes
Across AB33, from Alford, Bridge of Alford and Forbes outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, AB33 included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.
Alford: Schools such as Alford Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Andrew's Episcopal Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Why act early?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in AB33 can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Common problems we fix in AB33
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Questions from AB33
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
