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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Davidson's Mains
Common problems we fix in Davidson's Mains
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
