Bath resealing in Cadham without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cadham
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Cadham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Fife.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Cadham
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
