Why it’s worth resealing in Douglastown
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Douglastown
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Douglastown and across Angus.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Douglastown
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Douglastown. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
