Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Redcloak, Aberdeenshire
Bath resealing in and around Redcloak: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath resealing in Redcloak
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Redcloak questions
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeenshire.
What affects the price in Redcloak
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Signs you need bath resealing in Redcloak
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
