Bath resealing in Garthdee, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Garthdee
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why it’s worth resealing in Garthdee
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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
