How bathroom resealing works in G79

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We’re often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and failed sealant on the screen profile, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathroom resealing across G79: local notes

From Philipshill to its smaller places, homes across G79 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including G79.

Philipshill: Homes close to Carmunnock Parish Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Duncanrig Secondary School? Then 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.

How the job changes by surface

Sinks & splashbacks

Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How to look after the new joints

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:

  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade

Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.

Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

Why deal with it now?

A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair.

G79: your questions answered

When can I use the bath or shower again?

The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

How long will the resealing take?

One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.

What sealant do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
