- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

About our bath resealing in Gartness
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
