Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Denholm, Scottish Borders
Bath resealing across Denholm and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
Bath resealing in Denholm, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Denholm
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Questions from Denholm
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Denholm?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Denholm. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Denholm
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
