Bath Resealing for Gatehouse of Fleet homes
Our repair technicians come to Gatehouse of Fleet for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
Common problems we fix in Gatehouse of Fleet
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Bath resealing at your home in Gatehouse of Fleet
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. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Gatehouse of Fleet

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Gatehouse of Fleet. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What else we do in Gatehouse of Fleet
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
