Landlord and trade work in Keir Mill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath resealing in Keir Mill without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and stained silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Your questions about bath resealing in Keir Mill
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Keir Mill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Keir Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- 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.

- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
