Bath resealing at your home in Galashiels
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Galashiels
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Galashiels
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
