- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing in Kelhead without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
FAQs for Kelhead
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kelhead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
