About our bath resealing in Alford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Alford
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Alford
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
