About our bath resealing in Aberchalder
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Aberchalder
Do you come to Aberchalder?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Aberchalder for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What we’re called out for in Aberchalder
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Aberchalder. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
