Bathroom resealing across KY15: what to expect
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and splits where the tray meets the wall, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How we quote
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

What’s near Cupar
Around Cupar, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Bell Baxter High School, Cupar Old and St Michael of Tarvit Parish Church and Old And St Michael Of Tarvit Parish Church tower and nave and the streets around them. Cupar has its own railway station: Cupar station. A little further out are Cupar Castle (under half a mile north-east) and Fife and Forfar Yeomanry Museum (within half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Mount Hill.
Where we work in KY15
In KY15, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Cupar, Ladybank and Ceres to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in KY15 are chosen with that in mind.
Cupar: For landlords with property near Cupar station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bell Baxter High School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlord and commercial work in KY15
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in KY15 and across Fife. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Why it fails
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in KY15
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
