Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
About our bath resealing in Earlston
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath resealing in Earlston
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Earlston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Why reseal now?

When to call us in Earlston
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant

- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
