About our bath resealing in Ettrickbridge
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Ettrickbridge
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ettrickbridge
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How much does bath resealing cost in Ettrickbridge?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
