Do you need bath resealing in Kelso?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Most customers in Kelso get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
FAQs for Kelso
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Kelso?
We do. We send a technician to Kelso for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
