Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Jamestown, Fife
Bath resealing across Jamestown and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Bath resealing at your home in Jamestown
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Jamestown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Jamestown?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
