Bath resealing in Jock's Lodge without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Jock's Lodge. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Jock's Lodge: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Jock's Lodge
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
