About bathroom resealing in FK9
Kitchens need the same care as 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. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and failed sealant on the screen profile.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Pricing in FK9
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Bathroom resealing across FK9: local notes
Homes across FK9 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Raploch, Cornton and Bridge of Allan there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and FK9 is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.
Cornton: If you look after a building such as Wallace High School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Stirling station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What we’re called out for in FK9
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Black spots spreading through the bead
What affects the quote in FK9
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

FK9: your questions answered
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
