Bath resealing in Fochabers, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Resealing in Fochabers: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Fochabers customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in Fochabers
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Questions from Fochabers
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better 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.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fochabers?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
