How we handle bath resealing in Kirkgunzeon
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
