Bath resealing in Kinninvie, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Do you need bath resealing in Kinninvie?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Kinninvie: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
