Bath resealing in Cockburnspath without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Cockburnspath: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cockburnspath, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops

Shower trays

Cockburnspath questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you cover Cockburnspath?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cockburnspath and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
