Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kettlebridge, Fife
Fixed-price bath resealing in Kettlebridge and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
Bath resealing in Kettlebridge without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Kettlebridge and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Kettlebridge
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
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.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
