Bath resealing in Carradale, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and stained silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carradale
If you manage property in Carradale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we are called out for in Carradale
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site

Questions from Carradale
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
