About our bath resealing in Peel
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Peel and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Peel
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD1 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Everywhere in the UK, Peel included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What affects the price in Peel
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Peel and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Peel
For anyone letting property in or around Peel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Peel
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Common reasons people in Peel contact us are:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure

Why it’s worth resealing in Peel
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
