About our bath resealing in Locharbriggs
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Signs you need bath resealing in Locharbriggs
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
