Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
About our bath resealing in Portpatrick
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

What affects the price in Portpatrick
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Portpatrick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What else we do in Portpatrick
Portpatrick questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Portpatrick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place

Signs you need bath resealing in Portpatrick
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
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.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Landlord and trade work in Portpatrick
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
