Our bathroom resealing service in PA3
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What affects the price in PA3
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Where we work in PA3
Homes across PA3 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Paisley, Renfrew and Linwood. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including PA3.
Linwood: Rented homes near Johnstone station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Linwood High School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in PA3
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
What we’re called out for in PA3
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Common questions in PA3
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in PA3.
