- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the bath panel
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Inside a flat in Balgowan, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Balgowan
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath panel and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths alike.
From stone-built tenements to new flats and suburban houses, Balgowan is in a city with every kind of home. Scottish water is generally soft, so limescale is less of a problem than in hard-water areas, but mould still grows into sealant and grout in a steamy bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Balgowan
Balgowan is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Scotland’s water is generally soft, so sealant and grout see less limescale than in much of England. Mould is another matter: a bathroom that stays damp still turns sealant and grout black.
Homes close to St Luke's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Schools such as Baldragon Academy are buildings too, and 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Balgowan, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
