Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Dunblane, Stirling
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Dunblane and across Stirling. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Dunblane without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
