Bath resealing in Keith without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Keith and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
FAQs for Keith
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover Keith?
We do. Technicians travel to Keith from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Common problems we fix in Keith
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day

What affects the price in Keith
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Why it’s worth resealing in Keith
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
