About our bath resealing in Palnure
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we’re called out for in Palnure
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Palnure
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath resealing cost in Palnure?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Across the UK, so Palnure is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Palnure.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
