Sealant work in KY13

Bathroom resealing in KY13: how it works

A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathrooms and kitchens across KY13

Homes across KY13 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Kinross, Milnathort and Kinnesswood there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. Sealants for jobs in KY13 are chosen with that in mind.

Kinross: For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Episcopal Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Kinross High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

Leave it or put it right?

Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again.

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is chosen
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Whether they seal over old material or remove it

When something else is needed

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

KY13: your questions answered

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

What sealant do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

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

What does bathroom resealing cost?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

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.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Will it make a mess?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
