Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Barnhill, Dundee
We travel to Barnhill for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we handle bath resealing in Barnhill
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything

Barnhill questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Barnhill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
