Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing in Ashkirk without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
Ashkirk: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ashkirk?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
