What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Bath resealing in Fordoun without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we’re called out for in Fordoun
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Fordoun questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Fordoun?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Fordoun and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
