Bath resealing at your home in Dundee
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Dundee
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Dundee: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need bath resealing in Dundee
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dundee, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
