Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Lochmaben, Dumfries and Galloway
Fixed-price bath resealing in Lochmaben and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How we handle bath resealing in Lochmaben
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common problems we fix in Lochmaben
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions from Lochmaben
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How much does bath resealing cost in Lochmaben?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Lochmaben?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in Lochmaben
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
