Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath resealing at your home in Cummertrees
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

- The type of damage
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Cummertrees
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Cummertrees questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
