Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hightae, Dumfries and Galloway
Our repair technicians come to Hightae for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Hightae
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Hightae. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Hightae
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Hightae
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
