Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hawick, Scottish Borders
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Hawick, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
How we handle bath resealing in Hawick
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Hawick
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Hawick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Hawick
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?

Are there extra charges for Hawick?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
