Your questions about bath resealing in Nisbet
Do you come to Nisbet?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Nisbet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Bath resealing in Nisbet, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
