How we handle bath resealing in Langlee
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Langlee
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
