Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Ruthven, Aberdeenshire
Our technicians come to Ruthven for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we handle bath resealing in Ruthven
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. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Ruthven
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruthven as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles

What else we do in Ruthven
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Ruthven. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ruthven
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Ruthven is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Is resealing worth it?
