Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Barony and Castle of Corsehill, East Ayrshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Barony and Castle of Corsehill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Barony and Castle of Corsehill and the rest of East Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What affects the price in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Barony and Castle of Corsehill
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
