Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kirkurd, Scottish Borders
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Kirkurd, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How we handle bath resealing in Kirkurd
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Your questions about bath resealing in Kirkurd
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Kirkurd?
We do. Technicians travel to Kirkurd from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What we are called out for in Kirkurd
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
