Bath resealing at your home in Forres
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and unsealed corners, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Forres and across Moray.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Forres, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Moray. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you work in Forres?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Forres for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Forres?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
