About our bath resealing in Minnigaff
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Minnigaff
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Minnigaff?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Minnigaff and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Minnigaff
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
