Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Newton Stewart, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Newton Stewart
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common questions in Newton Stewart
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
