Sealant work in FK17

About bathroom resealing in FK17

Homes in FK17 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.

On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across FK17

In FK17, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Callander, Brig o'Turk and Drumvaich and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across FK17.

Callander: If you live in an older home near St Bride's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as McLaren High School, 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.

Leave it or put it right?

A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they hold
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • How long to leave it before use
  • What happens if the job turns out different

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.

Look out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in FK17 and across Stirling. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start

Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

FK17: your questions answered

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

Where are you based?

We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
