Bath Resealing for Potarch homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Potarch, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Bath resealing in Potarch, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Other services in Potarch
Landlord and trade work in Potarch
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
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.
Questions from Potarch
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Potarch.
Do you work in Potarch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Potarch and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
