Bathroom resealing in FK14: how it works
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water getting behind the bath panel.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across FK14
In FK14, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Dollar, Pool of Muckhart and Powmill to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in FK14 are chosen with that in mind.
Dollar: For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. In and around Dollar, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
FK14 questions
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
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 full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover FK14.
