Bath resealing in Caddonfoot, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Caddonfoot
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you come to Caddonfoot?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Caddonfoot and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Caddonfoot?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Caddonfoot
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
