About our bath resealing in Auchencairn
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auchencairn
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Auchencairn. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Auchencairn
Are there extra charges for Auchencairn?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG7 postcode.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
