Your questions about bath resealing in Gretna
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Bath resealing in Gretna without replacing anything

What else we do in Gretna
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Common problems we fix in Gretna
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Gretna, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Gretna
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gretna. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
If you are in Gretna and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
