Bath Resealing for Dunbeath homes
Our repair technicians come to Dunbeath for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Dunbeath without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Dunbeath
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dunbeath.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.

Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What else we do in Dunbeath
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our full price list.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Dunbeath
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Dunbeath contact us are:
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
