About bathroom resealing in PA2
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.

Landmarks near Paisley
We work in homes and buildings around Castlehead High School, St Luke's Church and Gallows Green. There’s a railway station in Paisley itself: Paisley Canal station. Other landmarks nearby include Riccartsbar Hospital (less than half a mile west) and Paisley Museum (0.6 miles north). The countryside around Paisley includes Walls Loch and Neilston Pad.
Where we work in PA2
Across PA2, from Paisley, Glenburn and Charleston outwards, we see 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.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and PA2 is part of that. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast.
Paisley: If you live in an older home near St Luke's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Castlehead High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
What happens if it’s left?
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, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. 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.
PA2: your questions answered
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Renfrewshire.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
