Bath resealing at your home in Charlestown
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Charlestown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Charlestown questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Charlestown and the rest of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Landlord and trade work in Charlestown
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in Charlestown
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant

- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
