Bath Resealing in Bankend

Bath resealing in Bankend without replacing anything
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 stained silicone and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Bankend
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Other services in Bankend
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bankend as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bankend questions

You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
