- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How we handle bath resealing in Murthly
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murthly use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray

Why it’s worth resealing in Murthly
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Murthly
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Murthly. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
