Bath resealing in Kirkton, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kirkton and across Dumfries and Galloway.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Kirkton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Are there extra charges for Kirkton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dumfries and Galloway.
