Bath resealing in Almondbank, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Almondbank: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Perth and Kinross?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long before I can shower?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Resealing in Almondbank: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
