About our bath resealing in Rubislaw
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Your questions about bath resealing in Rubislaw
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Rubislaw?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rubislaw.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with 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, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
