Bath resealing in Benslie without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Benslie
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benslie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Benslie: your questions answered
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Benslie?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Benslie?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Benslie from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
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.
