Bath resealing in Heiton, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Heiton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Heiton. Prices don’t change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Heiton?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Signs you need bath resealing in Heiton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Resealing in Heiton: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
