About bathroom resealing in PA14
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Landmarks near Port Glasgow
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Clune Park Church and the streets around them. The closest station to Port Glasgow is Port Glasgow station, roughly 0.6 miles north-west.

Where we work in PA14
In PA14, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Port Glasgow, Mid Auchinleck and Bogston to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. Sealants for jobs in PA14 are chosen with that in mind. In the coastal parts of PA14, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Port Glasgow: Homes close to Clune Park Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Port Glasgow station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee

PA14: your questions answered
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in PA14?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
