Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Altens, Aberdeen

About our bath resealing in Altens
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Altens
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Altens
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
