Bath resealing in Boat of Garten without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Boat of Garten
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
