About our bath resealing in Peebles
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and black spots in the silicone, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Peebles as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Peebles
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Peebles
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Peebles
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Everywhere in the UK, Peebles included. Travel is included in the price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Peebles. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
