Bath resealing at your home in Ashiestiel
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ashiestiel and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Ashiestiel
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashiestiel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Ashiestiel customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
