Bath resealing in Hardgate, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Hardgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Resealing in Hardgate: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Hardgate clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Hardgate: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Hardgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hardgate and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
