How bathroom resealing works in Aberdeen
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water getting behind the bath panel.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower in most cases.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Where we work in Aberdeen
From Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill to its smaller places, homes across Aberdeen have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere. Sealants for jobs in Aberdeen are chosen with that in mind. Along the coast in Aberdeen, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Aberdeen: Managing a site like Aberdeen Grammar School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Landlord and commercial work in Aberdeen
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Aberdeen
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
