Bath resealing in Port Appin, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Port Appin
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Appin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Why it’s worth resealing in Port Appin
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
