Bath resealing in Reston, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
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 will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.

Your questions about bath resealing in Reston
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Everywhere in the UK, Reston included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
