Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kirk Yetholm, Scottish Borders
We travel to Kirk Yetholm for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Bath resealing in Kirk Yetholm, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath resealing in Kirk Yetholm
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Kirk Yetholm. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Kirk Yetholm
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirk Yetholm use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Kirk Yetholm?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
