About our bath resealing in Ancrum
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Landlord and trade work in Ancrum
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ancrum use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Ancrum. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ancrum, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Ancrum
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does bath resealing cost in Ancrum?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Ancrum
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
