About bathroom resealing in DD5
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water escaping at the shower enclosure and black spots spreading through the bead.
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across DD5
Homes across DD5 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Broughty Ferry, Monifieth and Barnhill 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 DD5 are chosen with that in mind. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in DD5 can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Broughty Ferry: Rented homes near Broughty Ferry station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Grove Academy are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why act early?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, 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.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
Common problems we fix in DD5
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

DD5: your questions answered
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you come to DD5?
We do. DD5 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
