Bath resealing in Gelston, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Gelston

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Gelston
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Your questions about bath resealing in Gelston
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dumfries and Galloway.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
