How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Lochore
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does bath resealing cost in Lochore?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Fife.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
