Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Preston, Scottish Borders
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Preston, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Preston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Preston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Preston
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal

What affects the price in Preston
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Preston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
