About bathroom resealing in G64
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath panel and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across G64: local notes
G64 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Bishopbriggs, Robroyston and Colston. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. G64 is part of the area we cover across Scotland.
Bishopbriggs: If you live in an older home near Colston Wellpark Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Bishopbriggs station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
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.
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.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you.
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?
Why it fails
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Questions from G64
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
