Bath resealing in Portlethen Village without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Signs you need bath resealing in Portlethen Village

What affects the price in Portlethen Village
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Portlethen Village, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about bath resealing in Portlethen Village
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
