Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Douglas, Dundee
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Douglas, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we handle bath resealing in Douglas
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need bath resealing in Douglas
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Your questions about bath resealing in Douglas
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Douglas?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Douglas.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
We work UK-wide, so Douglas is covered. Prices do not change with location.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
