Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Cottown, Aberdeenshire
Bath resealing across Cottown and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Cottown
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.

- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Cottown questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Cottown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Cottown?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cottown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
