About our bath resealing in Kingsbarns
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Kingsbarns questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Kingsbarns?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Do you need bath resealing in Kingsbarns?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Kingsbarns contact us include:
- Black spots in the silicone

What else we do in Kingsbarns
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
