Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Castle Kennedy, Dumfries and Galloway
Local bath resealing for Castle Kennedy: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Castle Kennedy, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Castle Kennedy: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlord and trade work in Castle Kennedy
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
