How bathroom resealing works in PA18
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include leaks into the floor or ceiling below and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across PA18
In PA18, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Wemyss Bay and well beyond. 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, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. Sealants for jobs in PA18 are chosen with that in mind.
Wemyss Bay: If you live in an older home near St Josephs Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Wemyss Bay station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Surface 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.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.

PA18: your questions answered
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
