Bath resealing in Alves, done in place
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Moray.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Alves
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Alves?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alves. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need bath resealing in Alves?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
