Resealing in Ochiltree: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ochiltree
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Ochiltree
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Most customers in Ochiltree get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Ochiltree
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
